Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — FC Tōkyō and Gamba Osaka get this one started.
- 5' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 10' Kosuke Onose has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' FC Tōkyō are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 25' Yosuke Ideguchi has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 313 appearances.
- 30' A quiet spell here at Ajinomoto Stadium. Gamba Osaka seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
- 40' FC Tōkyō started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
- 41' Ademilson does the damage! The net is bulging and Gamba Osaka surge ahead!
- 46' 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 Masato Morishige suffering a number of foals already.
- 51' It looks surprising Gamba Osaka does not make any changes. Takashi Usami has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 56' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Tōkyō is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 61' The travelling Gamba Osaka supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 63' FC Tokyo make a change. Hirotaka Mita trudges off to be replaced by Kyosuke Tagawa on 63 minutes.
- 68' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Tsuneyasu Miyamoto will be considering his options from the bench.
- 73' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both FC Tōkyō and Gamba Osaka are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 75' FC Tokyo ring the changes. Arthur has done his job and it is now time for Yojiro Takahagi to step up.
- 78' Kim Younggwon is having his name booked by the referee on 78.
- 83' Another substitution for FC Tokyo to replace Diego Oliveira by Kiichi Yajima on 83 minute.
- 88' Shuto Abe has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- Gamba Osaka celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
