Gamba Osaka claimed their first J. League win of the season Sunday, striker Shun Nagasawa hitting a brace in their 3-1 win at Kashiwa Reysol on the second weekend of the season.

Gamba, who suffered a shock 4-1 home defeat to Jeju United of South Korea in the Asian Champions League on Wednesday, took the lead seven minutes in after the 192-cm striker made room for himself with a cunning run to nod home Hiroki Fujiharu's cross.

Yusuke Kobayashi volleyed home an emphatic equalizer two minutes into the second half after a corner fell on the edge of the box, but Nagasawa restored the lead 12 minutes later, again sneaking in front of a defender before delicately guiding a cross to the far bottom corner with his left foot.
