Japan forward Yoshinori Muto scored his first two goals in Europe with a brace in Mainz's 3-0 win over Hannover on Saturday.

Muto opened his Bundesliga account in the 15th minute, when he struck off the far post on his first touch after being put through down the left.

The 23-year-old striker made it 2-0 for the hosts just before the half-hour mark, nodding in a floating cross from point-blank range. He even had a hand in Mainz's third, defending from the front to induce a mistake that led to Yunus Malli's goal after 47 minutes.
