Kashiwa Reysol blitzed Yokohama F. Marinos with two goals in the space of two first-half minutes to claim a 2-0 win in the J. League on Saturday.
Marinos went into the weekend having climbed into fourth in the table on the back of two straight wins, but Cristiano scored a 25th-minute penalty and Hiroto Nakagawa struck again two minutes later to put Kashiwa firmly in control at Hitachi Stadium.
Marinos improved in the second half but still could not find a way past a resolute Kashiwa defense, as Reysol picked up their first home win of the season and moved up to 10th in the table after eight games.
