Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Yanmar Stadium Nagai. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Gamba Osaka started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 8' Magnificent from Leo Ceara! That is 88 goals in 175 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 13' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 18' 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.
  • 23' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 28' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 33' The 24-year-old Riku Handa has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 38' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Cerezo Osaka FC and Gamba Osaka are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 41' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Neta Lavi on 41 minutes.
  • 46' The whistle greets Hideki Ishige as he departs to be replaced by Dai Tsukamoto.
  • 51' It is a cagey affair so far. Cerezo Osaka FC in their 4-1-2-3 trying to find a way past Gamba Osaka's compact 4-1-2-3.
  • 56' The home supporters are growing impatient. Cerezo Osaka FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 61' With 0 assists to his name this season, Shu Kurata is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Gamba Osaka.
  • 66' Issam Jebali has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 71' A change in the Cerezo Osaka FC ranks — Masaya Shibayama exits the field as Hiroaki Okuno enters on 71.
  • 75' Another substitution for Cerezo Osaka FC to replace Capixaba by Ryosuke Shindo on 75 minute.
  • 80' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 80 minutes.
  • 82' Gamba Osaka make a change. Riku Handa trudges off to be replaced by Shinya Nakano on 82 minutes.
  • 84' Haruki Arai is ready to make an impact after coming on for Satoki Uejo at the 84 minute mark.
  • 89' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 90' That is a card for Gamba Osaka. Dawhan will be fuming at that decision.
  • Gamba Osaka will have plenty to reflect on. Cerezo Osaka FC were simply the better side today.
