Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Nagoya Grampus kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Gamba Osaka and Nagoya Grampus are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 8' A goal from the Poland international Jakub Swierczok! He fires home on 8 to make it 0-1!
  • 13' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 13 minutes.
  • 18' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Shunya Suganuma made 403 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 22' Magnificent from Yoichiro Kakitani! That is 20 goals in 369 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 23' Yoichiro Kakitani does the damage! The net is bulging and Nagoya Grampus surge ahead!
  • 28' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 29' A goal from the Poland international Jakub Swierczok! He fires home on 29 to make it 0-4!
  • 30' Gamba Osaka player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Gamba Osaka is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' 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 Yosuke Ideguchi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kosuke Onose, as he is very good at scoring at Panasonic Stadium Suita with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
  • 46' A tactical swap from Gamba Osaka — Ko Yanagisawa on, Ryu Takao off on 46 minutes.
  • 51' A quiet spell here at Panasonic Stadium Suita. Gamba Osaka seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 53' Patric makes no mistake. The score reads 1-4 and Gamba Osaka are in front.
  • 54' Ko Yanagisawa has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 54.
  • 59' Another change for Gamba Osaka made on 59 minute. Kosuke Onose leaves to be changed by Yuya Fukuda.
  • 64' The -year-old Min-Tae Kim has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 69' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 74' Nagoya Grampus started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 74.
  • 77' The Nagoya Grampus bench stirs into life. Yasuki Kimoto is withdrawn and Kazuki Nagasawa gets his opportunity.
  • 80' Another substitution for Gamba Osaka to replace Yosuke Ideguchi by Wellington Silva on 80 minute.
  • 82' A tactical swap from Nagoya Grampus — Ryoya Morishita on, Naoki Maeda off on 82 minutes.
  • 85' Poor challenge from Patric. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 89' The crowd applauds Jakub Swierczok as he leaves the pitch. Ryogo Yamasaki steps in for Nagoya Grampus.
  • Gamba Osaka will have plenty to reflect on. Nagoya Grampus were simply the better side today.
