Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Panasonic Stadium Suita. Gamba Osaka are looking to make home advantage count against Nagoya Grampus.
  • 5' Ryotaro Meshino has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Gamba Osaka and Nagoya Grampus are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 15' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Gamba Osaka and Nagoya Grampus are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 20' The 35-year-old Yuki Nogami has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 23' Takuji Yonemoto picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 26' Haruya Fujii does the damage! The net is bulging and Nagoya Grampus surge ahead!
  • 31' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 31 minutes.
  • 36' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 41' Gamba Osaka have won 377 goals from 403 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 42' It is a substitution in Nagoya Grampus team. Akinari Kawazura is replaced by Yuki Nogami on 42 minute.
