Match report

Gamba Osaka made light work of Cong An Ninh Dan at the Panasonic Stadium Suita on Monday, running out 4-1 winners in the opening League Phase match of the AFC Champions League. The hosts had already tasted defeat in their previous outing, losing 0-2 to Tokyo, and looked determined to set things right.

Takuma Usami opened the scoring in the twenty-ninth minute, a neat finish that caught the visitors off guard. Yoshinori Toshida doubled the lead shortly after the break, and Usami added his second in the sixty-seventh minute to put the game beyond doubt. Brian Perea got one back for the visitors in the seventy-ninth, but Koji Sumi sealed it with a late strike in ninety-plus-three.

There were plenty of changes across the second half. Usami was withdrawn in the sixty-ninth minute alongside Meshino, while the visitors brought on three players. Mauk picked up a yellow card early on for Gamba, and Fukuoka joined him in the book at the end.
