  • The former Gor Mahia striker opened the scoring four minutes into the match
  • Japanese midfielder Hidekazu Otani finished the job with a goal just before the final whistle.

Kenyan International Michael Olunga scored a brace as Kashiwa Reysol beat Yokohama FC 3-0 in a J1 League match at the Nippatsu Mitsuzawa Stadium in Yokohama on Saturday.

The former Gor Mahia striker opened the scoring four minutes into the match and the team held on to the slim lead until the 76th minute when he doubled the lead with a well-taken volley following a perfectly-weighted pass from Naoki Kawagachi.
