Gaku Shibasaki struck twice to help defending champions Kashima Antlers capture the Nabisco Cup for a record fifth time with a 2-1 extra-time victory over Shimizu S-Pulse on Saturday afternoon.
Twenty-year-old midfielder Shibasaki lit the touch paper on a quiet game at National Stadium by winning and converting a penalty in the 73rd minute, only for S-Pulse to hit back from the spot four minutes later through Genki Omae.
But Shibasaki needed only three minutes of extra time to put Antlers back in front, settling the game with a right-foot shot to give manager Jorginho his first trophy since taking charge of the Ibaraki side at the start of the year.
