The title was richly deserved as Vissel led for the most part of the season, although F. Marinos put up a great fight. 

 

F. Marinos' goalless draw with Niigata on Friday, however, meant the title would be Vissel's with a win on Saturday and they duly delivered. 

Vissel went in front after 11 minutes as Yuya Osako hit a gorgeous ball through for Haruya Ide, who finished perfectly with his first touch off the inside of the post.

 

Two minutes later, Osako created another goal as he beat his man on the left before crossing for Yoshinori Muto, who put the ball in the back of the net.

 

An excellent finish from Grampus striker Kasper Junker kept things close until the final whistle but Vissel Kobe were not to be denied.
