Events

Match Events

0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Gamba Osaka get this one started.
2' Sanfrecce Hiroshima is taking the lead after the goal scored by Yoshifumi Kashiwa on 2.
7' What a strike from Kosei Shibasaki! The score is 2-0.
12' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Tsuneyasu Miyamoto will be considering his options from the bench.
17' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
22' With 0 assists to his name this season, Taishi Matsumoto is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Gamba Osaka.
26' The referee has no hesitation. Yuki Nogami is booked for Sanfrecce Hiroshima — Yellow card on 26.
31' Sanfrecce Hiroshima are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Gamba Osaka backline.
33' Genta Miura picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

51' Kosuke Onose has been relatively quiet despite scoring 18 goals in his last 411 appearances.
56' 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 Ademilson suffering a number of foals already.
58' Time for substitution for Gamba Osaka. Genta Miura is replaced by Koki Yonekura.
