Former Japan striker Kazuyoshi Miura rolled back the years with a trademark finish to help ease 10-man Vissel Kobe's relegation worries with a 2-1 victory over Kashima Antlers in the J. League on Saturday.

Kobe spent long periods of the first half soaking up pressure from the Antlers at Kobe Universiade Stadium, but went in front when 36-year-old legend Miura, filling in for suspended Brazilian Oseas, fired the home side in front just before the break.
Miura brought down a right-wing cross from former Antlers star Bismarck and swiveled to rifle a low shot past Japan goalkeeper Hitoshi Sogahata.
