Events

Match Events

0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Gamba Osaka and Kyoto Sanga FC get this one started.
5' Gamba Osaka has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
10' Gamba Osaka are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
15' Juan Alano has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
20' It looks surprising Kyoto Sanga FC does not make any changes. Riku Handa has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
25' Takashi Usami has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 16 cards already picked up this season.
30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
35' Gamba Osaka is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
37' The whistle greets Juan Alano as he departs to be replaced by Ryotaro Meshino.
42' The 24-year-old Sota Kawasaki has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
46' Fresh legs for Gamba Osaka! Isa Sakamoto comes on to replace Kota Yamada.
51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yuta Toyokawa made 199 appearances and scored 37 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
56' The travelling Kyoto Sanga FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
57' Kyoto Sanga FC make a change. Yuto Anzai trudges off to be replaced by Marco Tulio on 57 minutes.
62' Gamba Osaka looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Ryotaro Meshino scoring 1 goals.
67' The home supporters are growing impatient. Gamba Osaka must find a spark to ignite this game.
69' Kyo Sato has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 69.
72' The supporters are chanting for Dawhan. He replaces Neta Lavi on 72 minute.
77' Both keepers have barely been tested. Gamba Osaka and Kyoto Sanga FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
82' Kyoto Sanga FC is showing some good football. However, Kyoto Sanga FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
83' The whistle greets Takashi Usami as he departs to be replaced by Issam Jebali.
88' Keisuke Kurokawa, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
90' Ryogo Yamasaki gets the nod from Kyoto Sanga FC. He replaces Taichi Hara and will look to change the dynamic.
Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
