Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Tōkyō Verdy launch into their encounter with Gamba Osaka.
- 5' 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.
- 10' 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 Takashi Usami suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Tōkyō Verdy needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Hiroshi Jofuku might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 25' The travelling Gamba Osaka supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 30' Kaito Chida has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 35' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 40' Tōkyō Verdy is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 45' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Kosuke Saito. He replaces Yuan Matsuhashi on 46 minute.
- 51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dawhan made 407 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 56' Shinnosuke Nakatani has been relatively quiet despite scoring 21 goals in his last 443 appearances.
- 61' Both keepers have barely been tested. Tōkyō Verdy and Gamba Osaka are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 62' The referee shows Gamba Osaka player a card on 62.
- 62' Fresh legs for Tokyo Verdy! Tomoya Miki comes on to replace Yuto Tsunashima.
- 63' Another change for Gamba Osaka made on 63 minute. Neta Lavi leaves to be changed by Dawhan.
- 68' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Dani Poyatos will be considering his options from the bench.
- 73' Tōkyō Verdy is showing some good football. However, Tōkyō Verdy are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 75' Gamba Osaka ring the changes. Takashi Usami has done his job and it is now time for Issam Jebali to step up.
- 80' Tōkyō Verdy are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Gamba Osaka's shape.
- 85' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 88' Tokyo Verdy manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yutaro Hakamata is hanging Tiago Alves on the field on 88 minute.
- 90' The Tokyo Verdy bench stirs into life. Yutaro Hakamata is withdrawn and Tetsuyuki Inami gets his opportunity.
- The final score is 0-0.
