Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Gamba Osaka to score. At the same time, FC Tokyo does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' 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 Takahiro Ko suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Tokyo that had 433 games and scored 394 goals.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 17' It’s a booking for Gamba Osaka player. Shuto Abe gets a card.
- 18' Another substitution for FC Tokyo to replace Kosuke Shirai by Kashif Bangunagande on 18 minute.
- 23' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Takashi Usami, as he is very good at scoring at Suita City Football Stadium with 12 goals in the last 11 games.
- 32' The referee shows FC Tokyo player a card on 32.
- 33' Takashi Usami puts Gamba Osaka on the lead.
- 38' 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.
- 40' The referee shows FC Tokyo player a card on 40.
- 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Tokyo needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 50' Gamba Osaka is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 55' Teruhito Nakagawa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.

- 75' The travelling FC Tokyo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 78' Another substitution for Gamba Osaka to replace Takashi Usami by Makoto Mitsuta on 78 minute.
- 83' FC Tokyo seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 85' Another substitution for Gamba Osaka to replace Shuto Abe by Shu Kurata on 85 minute.
