Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Gamba Osaka vs Urawa Red Diamonds — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' A quiet spell here at Suita City Football Stadium. Urawa Red Diamonds seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 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 Takahiro Sekine suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' The 29-year-old Takuro Kaneko has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 5 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' Japan international Shota Fukuoka has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 30' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 35' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 40' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Gamba Osaka and Urawa Red Diamonds are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yusuke Matsuo made 143 appearances and scored 25 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 46' Yusuke Matsuo is ready to make an impact after coming on for Hiiro Komori at the 46 minute mark.
  • 51' Danilo Boza, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 55' Ryo Hatsuse was booked on 55.
  • 60' It looks like no one’s ball. Urawa Red Diamonds is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 63' Gamba Osaka manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Juan Alano is hanging Ryoya Yamashita on the field on 63 minute.
  • 65' A meaty challenge results in booking for Samuel Gustafson on 65.
  • 70' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Urawa Red Diamonds that had 449 games and scored 416 goals.
  • 71' The Urawa Red Diamonds bench stirs into life. Takahiro Sekine is withdrawn and Isaac Kiese Thelin gets his opportunity.
  • 75' Gamba Osaka manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tokuma Suzuki is hanging Takashi Usami on the field on 75 minute.
  • 80' Urawa Red Diamonds have won 416 goals from 449 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 82' Urawa Red Diamonds make a change. Takuro Kaneko trudges off to be replaced by Tomoaki Okubo on 82 minutes.
  • 85' Shuto Abe has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 85 minutes.
  • 86' The referee calls foul for Isaac Kiese Thelin. He receives a card.
  • 88' Keisuke Kurokawa is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ryo Hatsuse at the 88 minute mark.
  • 90' Urawa Red Diamonds player sees a card in front of him.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
