After first-half goals by Yuya Minagawa and Kyosuke Tagawa, it was a stunning late effort by Taichi Hara that had fans clapping at Ajinomoto Stadium on Wednesday as FC Tokyo fought from behind to a 2-1 win over Yokohama FC.
The 21-year-old Hara gave Tokyo its first lead of the game in the 85th minute when he trapped Ryoya Ogawa’s cross and slammed it home from just outside the six-meter box.
“I wanted to score if Ogawa sent in a good cross,” Hara said after the game. “Adailton had a touch before me and then everything came down to the trap, after that I just put everything I had into the shot.”
