Gamba Osaka supporters put their faith in manager M. Matsunami to deliver victory against Yokohama

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Gamba and Yokohama.

With 1 J-League win, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Gamba Osaka, who have the fewest scored goals (5) in J-League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Takashi Usami, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 7.75 (out of 10). Usami scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 3 of 5 times.

Heartbreak before that as Gamba lost 0-1 at Tokyo's place.
