Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Gamba Osaka kicks off things out of here…
5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Kashima Antlers and Gamba Osaka are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
10' Gamba Osaka come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
15' Kashima Antlers is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
20' Gamba Osaka are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
25' Diego Pituca has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
30' Ju Sejong needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
34' It’s a booking for Kashima Antlers player. Juan gets a Yellow card.
39' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
44' 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 Kim Younggwon suffering a number of foals already.
47' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Kim Younggwon.
52' Ayase Ueda doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
57' Kento Misao is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Kashima Antlers so far.
60' GOAL! Juan scores on 60.
65' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Kashima Antlers and Gamba Osaka are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
67' Yuta Matsumura has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ryuji Izumi on 67 minute.
70' Gamba Osaka ring the changes. Patric has done his job and it is now time for Tiago Alves to step up.
73' Magnificent from Shoma Doi! That is 32 goals in 447 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
78' It looks like no one’s ball. Kashima Antlers is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
79' Tiago Alves does the damage! The net is bulging and Gamba Osaka surge ahead!
80' The deadlock is broken! Tiago Alves gets on the scoresheet on 80 minutes.
80' A tactical swap from Gamba Osaka — Wellington Silva on, Shinya Yajima off on 80 minutes.
81' Arthur Caike is replacing Juan for the Kashima Antlers side.
84' Shunya Suganuma was booked on 84.
89' Kashima Antlers 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.
90' Kashima Antlers manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Katsuya Nagato is hanging Koki Anzai on the field on 90 minute.
The points are shared — Kashima Antlers 3-1 Gamba Osaka. Honours even.
