Buriram United, the Thai League representatives, took an unexpected lead against J-League hosts Gamba Osaka despite being outplayed for much of the match. The visitors had only one point from their first two games in the AFC Champions League Elite East Zone league phase. Gamba Osaka dominated possession and created more chances, but Edu Mancha's 39th-minute strike — Buriram's first shot on target — put the Thunder Castle ahead 1-0. However, Takashi Usami curled in a free-kick in the 66th minute to level the score at 1-1, leaving both sides with a point each.
