  • 5' Gamba Osaka is showing some good football. However, Gamba Osaka are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' Japan international Ryoya Yamashita has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 2 assists in the Array this season.

  • 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
