- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Sei Muroya, as he is very good at scoring at Suita City Football Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 15' The travelling FC Tōkyō supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 17' Shuto Abe was booked on 17.
- 18' Another change for FC Tokyo made on 18 minute. Kosuke Shirai leaves to be changed by Kashif Bangunagande.
- 23' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 28' Gamba Osaka started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 28.
- 32' Keigo Higashi was booked on 32.
- 33' GOAL! Takashi Usami scores on 33.

- 50' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 55' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Tōkyō that had 437 games and scored 396 goals.
- 60' 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 Welton suffering a number of foals already.
