Events
Match Events
- 0' And we are off! Gamba Osaka vs Nagoya Grampus — let the football do the talking.
- 5' GOAL! Chang-rae Ha fires home to make it 0-1!
- 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Nagoya Grampus winning 50% of all matches.
- 20' Kensuke Nagai has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 21' GOAL! Isa Sakamoto scores on 21.
- 25' Yuki Nogami makes way for Haruki Yoshida at the 25 minute mark. A tactical switch from Nagoya Grampus.
- 28' Isa Sakamoto puts Gamba Osaka on the lead.
- 33' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ryoya Yamashita, as he is very good at scoring at Suita City Football Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 38' 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 Mitch Langerak suffering a number of foals already.
- 43' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 46' Yuya Yamagishi is replacing Ryuji Izumi for the Nagoya Grampus side.
- 51' Keisuke Kurokawa has been relatively quiet despite scoring 6 goals in his last 403 appearances.
- 56' Magnificent from Haruki Yoshida! That is 1 goals in 439 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 60' Gamba Osaka manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takashi Usami is hanging Ryotaro Meshino on the field on 60 minute.
- 65' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 65 minutes.
- 69' Nagoya Grampus manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kasper Junker is hanging Kensuke Nagai on the field on 69 minute.
- 74' Another substitution for Gamba Osaka to replace Kota Yamada by Yuya Fukuda on 74 minute.
- 78' Goal! Yuya Fukuda scores his 7 goal in 403 matches.
- 79' Ken Masui is ready to make an impact after coming on for Tsukasa Morishima at the 79 minute mark.
- 84' Yuki Nogami is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Gamba Osaka tonight.
- 88' Takeru Kishimoto has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ryoya Yamashita on 88 minute.
- Nagoya Grampus will have plenty to reflect on. Gamba Osaka were simply the better side today.
