Michael Olunga helped his side Kashiwa Reysol to their second victory this season following a 3-2 win over visiting Shonan Bellmare on Saturday 18th.
Olunga opened the scoring for Kashiwa in the 19th minute, heading in Kamiya Yuta's cross. The Kenyan international netted the second goal for the hosts from a penalty kick after Hayato Nakama was brought down inside the danger zone.
Nakama grabbed the third with Temma Matsuda and Naoki Ishihara each scoring for Shonan to reduce the deficit but failed to force a draw as the hosts escaped with a 3-2 victory.
The win leaves Reysol 12th on the log with 6 points after 5 matches and will be up against Urawa Red Diamonds in their next fixture.
