Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and FC Tokyo launch into their encounter with Gamba Osaka.
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with FC Tokyo winning 100% of all matches.
- 7' Poor challenge from Teppei Oka. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 12' FC Tokyo are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Gamba Osaka's shape.
- 17' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 22' Gamba Osaka started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 22.
- 27' Gamba Osaka is showing some good football. However, Gamba Osaka are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 32' Gamba Osaka have won 385 goals from 413 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 37' It’s high time Rikizo Matsuhashi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 42' A quiet spell here at National Stadium. FC Tokyo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 47' It looks surprising Gamba Osaka does not make any changes. Takashi Usami has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 52' Kein Sato, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 57' FC Tokyo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 62' The FC Tokyo manager makes a substitution. Maki Kitahara departs to be replaced by Kota Tawaratsumida.
- 67' 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.
- 71' Keita Endo makes way for Kento Hashimoto at the 71 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Tokyo.
- 76' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rin Mito made 413 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 80' Takeru Kishimoto is replacing Ryoya Yamashita for the Gamba Osaka side.
- 85' Teppei Oka has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 86' Assisted by Kei Koizumi with the perfectly-timed delivery and Kota Tawaratsumida makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 89' FC Tokyo make a change. Kei Koizumi trudges off to be replaced by Leon Nozawa on 89 minutes.
- 90' GOAL! Takahiro Ko scores on 90. Assisted by Kento Hashimoto
- The points are shared — FC Tokyo 3-0 Gamba Osaka. Honours even.
