World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager T. Miyamoto when Patric scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 62nd minute. The end of the last match, against Yokohama, was very satisfying as Patric scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Gamba has another fixture away, a J-League game, against Sagan Tosu in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
