Yokohama F. Marinos took the points with a 2-0 win at Kashiwa Reysol in the J.League. Ryo Miyaichi's early opener and Rio Nitta's strike soon after the restart settled the match, while Kashiwa saw plenty of the ball without turning it into goals.
Marinos went ahead in the 19th minute when Miyaichi finished from Kaina Tanimura's pass. Rio Nitta then made it 0-2 in the 48th minute, scoring unassisted. Kashiwa pushed forward in response, and Kosei Suwama and Keita Endo were both booked late in the first half.
Kashiwa dominated possession with 59% and completed 469 accurate passes to Marinos' 290, while both sides had 13 total shots. The hosts also created three big chances to Marinos' two, yet managed only one shot on target. Marinos were far more clinical, putting four shots on target and leaving Kashiwa to regret their wastefulness.
