Jubilo substitute forward Norihisa Shimizu scored a hat trick in the second half as J. League Division One second-stage leader Iwata downed FC Tokyo 5-2 at Tokyo's National Stadium Wednesday.
In a seesaw scoring battle in the rain, Tokyo midfielder Fumitake Miura put his team ahead in the 55th minute with a close-range blast. But Jubilo midfielder Jo Kanazawa struck an equalizer in the 65th minute before Shimizu, who had come on for young forward Ryoichi Maeda after the break, knocked in a header off a Toshiya Fujita cross in the 73rd minute for his first goal of the season.
