Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for FC Tokyo to score. At the same time, Gamba Osaka does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Gamba Osaka is taking the lead after the goal scored by Kosuke Onose on 5.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yojiro Takahagi made 441 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Gamba Osaka come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 20' It’s high time Kenta Hasegawa made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
- 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Tokyo and Gamba Osaka are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 35' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 37' Kensuke Nagai doubles the advantage! 1-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.

- 45' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 46' A tactical swap from Gamba Osaka — Yasuhito Endo on, Leo Takae off on 46 minutes.
- 51' 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 Yasuhito Endo suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' FC Tokyo is showing some good football. However, FC Tokyo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 84' Another substitution for FC Tokyo to replace Kensuke Nagai by Kiichi Yajima on 84 minute.
