Former Spain internationals David Villa and Andres Iniesta each struck twice to lead Vissel Kobe to a 5-3 home win over Nagoya Grampus in the J. League first division on Sunday.
Playing in its third league match under newly appointed head coach Thorsten Fink, Vissel was able to claim the win despite the visitors twice coming from behind to level the scoring at Noevir Stadium.
Villa fired home the opening goal in the 27th minute and netted a second-half penalty for a 4-3 lead, while Iniesta completed a second-half brace.
