The J-Talk Podcast

Akita roll on, the race for 2nd hots up and another goal for a Gamba Osaka young gun - all in this very brief round up of the latest J3 happenings!

Kawasaki passed another test on their seemingly inevitable march to the J1 title away at (then) second-placed Cerezo Osaka on Saturday, and Lionel Piguet (who was there for JSoccer Magazine) and Neil Debnam guest in Part 1 to talk about Frontale's 3-1 triumph (to 32:00).

Then Jonny Nicol returns with his Gamba Osaka side in the midst of an excellent winning run, their latest victory at home over Kashima (to 1:01:06), before we run through the other games from the Matchday 20 slate, including Kobe's remarkable away win over Yokohama F.Marinos, and Michael Olunga carrying on his merry way with another brace in Kashiwa's win at Yokohama FC.
