Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Gamba Osaka host Yokohama F.Marinos — let the battle begin!
- 5' Leo Ceara is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Gamba Osaka so far.
- 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 15' The whistle greets Wellington Silva as he departs to be replaced by Patric.
- 20' The travelling Yokohama F.Marinos supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 23' Elber is having his name booked by the referee on 23.
- 24' Controversy at the stadium! Elber argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 29' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 30' Thiago Martins has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 30.
- 32' Elber has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 32 minutes.
- 37' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Gamba Osaka and Yokohama F.Marinos are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 42' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 47' Yokohama F.Marinos is showing some good football. However, Yokohama F.Marinos are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 48' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Marcos Junior makes it 0-2.
- 51' What a moment for Elber! That strike on 51 puts his side firmly in control.
- 54' Time for substitution for Yokohama F.Marinos. Elber is replaced by Kota Mizunuma.
- 56' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Leandro Pereira makes it 1-3.
- 60' The Yokohama F.Marinos manager makes a substitution. Marcos Junior departs to be replaced by Jun Amano.
- 65' A tactical swap from Gamba Osaka — Hiroki Fujiharu on, Keisuke Kurokawa off on 65 minutes.
- 66' A tactical swap from Gamba Osaka — Yosuke Ideguchi on, Yuki Yamamoto off on 66 minutes.
- 71' 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 Masaaki Higashiguchi suffering a number of foals already.
- 73' The whistle greets Tomoki Iwata as he departs to be replaced by Takahiro Ogihara.
- 74' The Japan Kota Mizunuma breaks the deadlock on 74 minutes. 1-4!
- 76' The crowd applauds Kohei Okuno as he leaves the pitch. Yuji Ono steps in for Gamba Osaka.
- 81' It looks surprising Gamba Osaka does not make any changes. Takuya Kida has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 86' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Gamba Osaka that had 416 games and scored 389 goals.
- Another three points for Yokohama F.Marinos.
