Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Gamba Osaka and Tokyo Verdy is underway.
- 5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 10' The supporters are chanting for Genta Miura. He replaces Shinnosuke Nakatani on 10 minute.
- 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 20' It’s a booking for Tokyo Verdy player. Yuta Arai gets a card.
- 25' 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 Rin Mito suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' The travelling Tokyo Verdy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 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' Tokyo Verdy started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
- 43' Issam Jebali puts Gamba Osaka on the lead.
- 48' 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.
- 49' What a strike from Makoto Mitsuta! The score is 2-0.
- 50' Issam Jebali with the second goal in the match!
- 55' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Gamba Osaka that had 403 games and scored 377 goals.
- 57' Another substitution for Tokyo Verdy to replace Kosuke Saito by Tetsuyuki Inami on 57 minute.
- 58' The whistle greets Yuan Matsuhashi as he departs to be replaced by Shuhei Kawasaki.
- 61' Another change for Gamba Osaka made on 61 minute. Rin Mito leaves to be changed by Tokuma Suzuki.
- 65' The Tokyo Verdy manager makes a substitution. Kazuya Miyahara departs to be replaced by Goki Yamada.
- 70' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Gamba Osaka needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 75' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 75 minutes.
- 76' Takeru Kishimoto is replacing Ryoya Yamashita for the Gamba Osaka side.
- 77' Harumi Minamino has so much to prove this time. He replaces Issam Jebali on 77 minute.
- 78' GOAL! Itsuki Someno scores on 78.
- 81' Soma Meshino has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yosuke Uchida on 81 minute.
- 86' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- Another three points for Gamba Osaka.
