Masato Kudo bagged a brace and created another as Kashiwa Reysol came from a goal down to hammer Kawasaki Frontale 4-1 away in the J-League on Wednesday.
Kawasaki took the lead against the run of play through Shogo Taniguchi, but Kosuke Taketomi leveled on the stroke of halftime and Kudo added the second before netting his 50th top-flight goal with another trademark header just before the hour.
The former Japan striker then put the fourth on a plate for substitute Cristiano to seal Kashiwa's third win of the season in the late stages. Kashiwa improved to 11 points from eight games after snapping Kawasaki's (14) four-match unbeaten streak.
