Events

Match Events

0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Gamba Osaka is hosting Vissel Kobe for another epic battle.
5' Gamba Osaka have won 385 goals from 413 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
20' 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.
22' Harumi Minamino adds to his 0 season tally! Gamba Osaka lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
27' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
32' Vissel Kobe come into this ranked 3 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
36' Genta Miura does the damage! The net is bulging and Gamba Osaka surge ahead!
41' Tetsushi Yamakawa has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
45' Yoshinori Muto is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
50' 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 Rui Araki suffering a number of foals already.
52' Harumi Minamino is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the forward.
57' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.

67' Gamba Osaka are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Vissel Kobe backline.
72' Yosuke Ideguchi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 9 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

80' The deadlock is broken! Kanji Okunuki gets on the scoresheet on 80 minutes.
