Jubilo striker Naohiro Takahara scored two goals as Iwata downed the Yokohama F. Marinos 3-1 at National Stadium to maintain the J. League Division One second stage lead on Saturday.

Jubilo built a comfortable 2-0 lead by manipulating Yokohama's poor backline coordination and taking advantage of the space they left open on the right flank.
