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' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daiju Sasaki made 444 appearances and scored 21 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
15' 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.
20' Gamba Osaka looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Harumi Minamino scoring 2 goals.
22' Gamba Osaka is taking the lead after the goal scored by Harumi Minamino on 22.
27' It’s high time Michael Skibbe made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
32' 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.
36' GOAL! Genta Miura scores on 36. Assisted by Shinnosuke Nakatani
41' Vissel Kobe 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 shows Vissel Kobe player a card 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' Goal! Harumi Minamino scores his 6 goal in 403 matches.
57' Vissel Kobe is showing some good football. However, Vissel Kobe are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
62' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
67' 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.
72' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
77' Gamba Osaka is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
80' GOAL! Kanji Okunuki scores on 80.
82' Goal! Deniz Hummet scores his 10 goal in 4 matches.
87' Gamba Osaka started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 87.
The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Vissel Kobe.
