Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Gamba Osaka vs Sagan Tosu FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 10' 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 Hiroki Fujiharu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Sagan Tosu FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' Isaac Cuenca needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 30' Yosuke Ideguchi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 35' Gamba Osaka have won 387 goals from 415 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 40' Sagan Tosu FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 45' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 50' It’s high time Myung-Hwi Kim made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 52' Sagan Tosu FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yuji Ono is hanging Ahn Yongwoo on the field on 52 minute.
  • 53' That is a Yellow card for Gamba Osaka. Kosuke Onose will be fuming at that decision.
  • 58' Gamba Osaka currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 63' Sagan Tosu FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 66' Time for substitution for Gamba Osaka. Kosuke Onose is replaced by Ademilson.
  • 71' It looks surprising Gamba Osaka does not make any changes. Kim Younggwon has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 72' Kazuma Watanabe gets the nod from Gamba Osaka. He replaces Patric and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 77' Sagan Tosu FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 77.
  • 80' Yohei Toyoda is replacing Riki Harakawa for the Sagan Tosu FC side.
  • 81' Sagan Tosu FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yohei Toyoda is hanging Riki Harakawa on the field on 81 minute.
