Gamba withdraw Lee Keun-Ho for Hayato Sasaki and switch to 4-2-3-1. Nagoya bring on young forward Kensuke Nagai, who sits in midfield but rotates with Yoshizumi Ogawa and Jungo Fujimoto to offer effective presence in attack. Gamba can now match Nagoya numbers in midfield but fail to gain supremacy, and the home side make it 4-1 with a flowing team move on the counter.
