Gamba Osaka continues to under perform losing their third straight and 5th of their last 6. They now sit in second place, one point behind Cerezo Osaka who could only make it out of today's match with a tie against a Yokohama team they really should have beat.

The real interesting news is that there are now 3 teams just 2 points off the leader since the Reds, Antlers and United Chiba all won today. That means with just one game remaining in the season, there are still five teams that could end up as champions. Since none of the top 5 teams play each other next week, it will be all about getting your result and hoping the other teams fail.
