Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Gamba Osaka get us underway at .
  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 10' Gamba Osaka are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Nagoya Grampus backline.
  • 15' It looks surprising Nagoya Grampus does not make any changes. Shu Kurata has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 26' Patric is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the .
  • 31' The travelling Nagoya Grampus supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 36' The -year-old Hiroto Yamami has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 41' Nagoya Grampus are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 46' 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.
  • 48' Sho Inagaki makes way for Yoichiro Kakitani at the 48 minute mark. A tactical switch from Nagoya Grampus.
  • 53' It’s high time Kenta Hasegawa made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 54' Kazuya Miyahara adds to his 0 season tally! Gamba Osaka lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 59' Time for substitution for Gamba Osaka. Shu Kurata is replaced by Hideki Ishige.
  • 60' Nagoya Grampus ring the changes. Yuki Soma has done his job and it is now time for Hiroyuki Abe to step up.
  • 63' A goal from the Japan international Keisuke Kurokawa! He fires home on 63 to make it 3-0!

  • 70' Wellington Silva is replacing Hiroto Yamami for the Gamba Osaka side.
  • 71' Hidemasa Koda is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mateus at the 71 minute mark.
  • 76' 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 Hidemasa Koda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 77' The Gamba Osaka manager makes a substitution. Mitsuki Saito departs to be replaced by Kohei Okuno.
  • 82' Haruya Fujii, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
