Kyoto Sanga have been red hot, surging up the table with Rafael Elias leading the way, and they’ll aim to keep that momentum going when Gamba Osaka visit on Sunday at 19:00 JST. The match will be live on JLeague.co and broadcasters around the world.

Rafael has scored seven goals in seven matches since arriving in Kyoto, helping the team to 16 of a possible 21 points to go from the relegation zone all the way up to 15th place. It’s been an impressive run of form that has put six points between Sanga and the drop and completely changed the club’s campaign.

The late summer has not treated Gamba nearly as well; the Black and Blue haven’t won in their last six matches and have fallen 10 points off the pace in their quest for the title. The Suita side have been held scoreless in four of those contests, so getting the attack on track is crucial if they are going to turn things around this weekend.

Will Sanga's super striker lead them to another victory? Or will Gamba turn their season around as fall arives?
