Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Noevir Stadium that hosts another battle between Vissel Kobe and Gamba Osaka.
  • 5' Gamba Osaka have won 377 goals from 403 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' It’s high time Dani Poyatos made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' Makoto Mitsuta has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 16' Thuler picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 21' Gamba Osaka is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 26' Yusei Egawa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 31' 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 Ryoya Yamashita suffering a number of foals already.
  • 36' Gamba Osaka has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 41' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 50' Yuya Osako has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 50 minutes.
  • 55' Gamba Osaka started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
  • 56' Shu Kurata has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 56 minutes.
  • 59' Erik adds to his 2 season tally! Vissel Kobe lead 2-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 64' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 67' Another substitution for Vissel Kobe to replace Erik by Jean Patric on 67 minute.
  • 68' A change in the Gamba Osaka ranks — Deniz Hummet exits the field as Harumi Minamino enters on 68.
  • 73' Magnificent from Keisuke Kurokawa! That is 6 goals in 403 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 78' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Takayuki Yoshida will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 83' The whistle greets Juan Alano as he departs to be replaced by Welton.
  • 85' Haruya Ide has so much to prove this time. He replaces Taisei Miyashiro on 85 minute.
