Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Gamba Osaka kicks off things out of here…
- 5' It’s high time Tsuneyasu Miyamoto made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Gamba Osaka side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 15' Patric, a Brazil , has 15 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 20' Gamba Osaka 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.
- 25' Ryuji Izumi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 30' Over 30 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 40' With 1 assists to his name this season, Ayase Ueda is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Kashima Antlers.
- 45' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yuki Yamamoto, as he is very good at scoring at Panasonic Stadium Suita with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 50' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 55' Kashima Antlers are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 60' The home supporters are growing impatient. Gamba Osaka must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 65' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 66' Patric has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 66 minutes.
- 67' Controversy at the stadium! Everaldo argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 72' The travelling Kashima Antlers supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 73' Yasushi Endo is replacing Shoma Doi for the Kashima Antlers side.
- 77' Kashima Antlers manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ryota Nagaki is hanging Juan Alano on the field on 77 minute.
- 80' Kazuma Watanabe is replacing Patric for the Gamba Osaka side.
- 82' Yuta Matsumura gets the nod from Kashima Antlers. He replaces Kei Koizumi and will look to change the dynamic.
- 87' Tomoya Inukai needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 88' Shinya Yajima is ready to make an impact after coming on for Kosuke Onose at the 88 minute mark.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Kashima Antlers.
