Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Gamba Osaka host Kyōto Sanga FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Keisuke Kurokawa, as he is very good at scoring at Suita City Football Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' Kyōto Sanga FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Gamba Osaka that had 407 games and scored 381 goals.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Neta Lavi made 36 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 37' It is a substitution in Gamba Osaka team. Juan Alano is replaced by Ryotaro Meshino on 37 minute.
  • 42' Gamba Osaka are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 46' The crowd applauds Kota Yamada as he leaves the pitch. Isa Sakamoto steps in for Gamba Osaka.
  • 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 Hisashi Appiah Tawiah suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' It looks like no one’s ball. Gamba Osaka is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 57' Kyoto Sanga FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marco Tulio is hanging Yuto Anzai on the field on 57 minute.
  • 62' Kyōto Sanga FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 67' The 21-year-old Sora Hiraga has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 69' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kyo Sato on 69.
  • 72' The supporters are chanting for Dawhan. He replaces Neta Lavi on 72 minute.
  • 77' A quiet spell here at Suita City Football Stadium. Kyōto Sanga FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 82' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Gamba Osaka and Kyōto Sanga FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 83' Gamba Osaka ring the changes. Takashi Usami has done his job and it is now time for Issam Jebali to step up.
  • 88' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 90' Taichi Hara makes way for Ryogo Yamasaki at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kyoto Sanga FC.
  • will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
