Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at Panasonic Stadium Suita. 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.
10' It is a cagey affair so far. Gamba Osaka in their 4-1-2-3 trying to find a way past Cerezo Osaka FC's compact 4-1-2-3.
15' The travelling Cerezo Osaka FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
20' Cerezo Osaka FC have won 410 goals from 382 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
22' Riku Matsuda picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
27' named a 4-1-2-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-1-2-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
28' Leo Ceara doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
33' Gamba Osaka receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 33.
38' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
43' 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 Neta Lavi suffering a number of foals already.
46' Hikaru Nakahara has so much to prove this time. He replaces Riku Matsuda on 46 minute.
51' Hikaru Nakahara, a Japan midfielder, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
52' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Ryotaro Meshino.
56' Dawhan adds to his 0 season tally! Gamba Osaka lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
60' Cerezo Osaka FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Satoki Uejo is hanging Hirotaka Tameda on the field on 60 minute.
61' Ryotaro Meshino makes way for Hiroto Yamami at the 61 minute mark. A tactical switch from Gamba Osaka.
65' A meaty challenge results in booking for Takashi Usami on 65.
68' Another substitution for Cerezo Osaka FC to replace Riki Harakawa by Sota Kitano on 68 minute.
73' Supporters expect more eagerness from Seiya Maikuma, as he is very good at scoring at Panasonic Stadium Suita with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
78' The 30-year-old Ryosuke Shindo has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
83' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Gamba Osaka that had 416 games and scored 389 goals.
87' Another change for Gamba Osaka made on 87 minute. Dawhan leaves to be changed by Shu Kurata.
90' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Mutsuki Kato makes no mistake. 1-2!
90' Another substitution for Cerezo Osaka FC to replace Shinji Kagawa by Ryosuke Shindo on 90 minute.
Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
