Sagan Tosu suffer setback in Sunday’s J-League fixture. All three points flew away from Ekimae Real State Stadium after a 0-2 win against Shonan Bellmare. Two goals on the second half for visitors were enough to secure the win despite the great effort displayed by Lluis Carreras’ side.

After an intense box-to-box first half Ohashi broke the deadlock on 59’. Despite creating several clear goal chances locals did not get the reward deserved and Umesaki finally scored the second on the final stage of the game (89’) securing the win for visitors. Fernando Torres played a 34-minute performance as the Spaniard came onto the pitch on the second half (56’) replacing Korean attacker Dong-geon Cho.
