Vissel Kobe a décroché son premier titre de première division en J. League en battant Nagoya Grampus 2-1 à domicile lors de l'avant-dernière journée de la saison. Kobe a grimpé à 68 points, quatre d'avance sur les champions 2022 Yokohama F Marinos à la deuxième place, pour sceller leur deuxième trophée majeur après avoir remporté la Coupe de l'Empereur lors de la saison 2019. L'équipe dirigée par Takayuki Yoshida a démarré la saison en force et a laissé partir l'icône espagnole Andres Iniesta en juillet.

Vissel Kobe clinched its first J. League top-flight title on Saturday by beating Nagoya Grampus 2-1 at home in the penultimate round of the season. Kobe moved up to 68 points, four clear of 2022 champions Yokohama F Marinos in second place, to seal their second major trophy after winning the Emperor's Cup in the 2019 season. Manager Takayuki Yoshida's team started the season strongly and let Spanish icon Andres Iniesta leave in July, having barely called upon the Spanish World Cup winner during the campaign.

Former Japan forward Yuya Osako led from the front scoring 22 goals, currently top of the J1 scoring chart, with Kobe's 59 goals overall only bettered by Marinos. Their defense conceded 29 goals, also second-best in the league, behind Urawa Reds. "I came back to Japan for this and I couldn't be happier," said Osako, who returned to the J1 in the summer of 2021 after nearly eight seasons in Germany. "We just believed in ourselves and trusted our teammates. It's really great to have won and I'm thankful to everyone." A quick-fire double from Kobe in the first half, both set up by Osako, proved enough to get them over the line at Noevir Stadium after an intense 90 minutes.

"I've never experienced this kind of happiness before," said Kobe captain Hotaru Yamaguchi.

"The emotion started to come out about five minutes before the final whistle. I'm just so happy."

Kobe won Japan's domestic Emperor's Cup with Iniesta in 2019 and reached the semi-finals of the Asian Champions League a year later.Iniesta played alongside former Spain teammate David Villa and German World Cup winner Lukas Podolski at Kobe, who are owned by tech billionaire Hiroshi Mikitani, one of Japan's richest men.
