Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Albirex Niigata and Gamba Osaka is underway.
- 5' Soya Fujiwara has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Keisuke Kurokawa suffering a number of foals already.
- 18' Albirex Niigata is taking the lead after the goal scored by Motoki Hasegawa on 18.
- 23' Gamba Osaka seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 46' Time for substitution for Albirex Niigata. Kaito Taniguchi is replaced by Jin Okumura.
- 51' It looks like no one’s ball. Gamba Osaka is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 56' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
