Vissel Kobe experienced fluctuating results in the J1 League during late 2026. On September 20, the club moved to the top of the league standings following a 1-0 victory over Gamba Osaka, driven by a 90th-minute goal from Elkik.

However, the team's momentum shifted by October. During a match at Uvance Todoroki Stadium, Kawasaki Frontale defeated Vissel Kobe 2-1. The match was heavily influenced by strong winds, which impacted Kobe’s offensive effectiveness and contributed to a decisive goal by Tatsuya Ito.
