Cerezo Osaka hit Omiya Ardija with a one-two punch from their Olympic arsenal as Hiroshi Kiyotake and Kim Bo Kyung both found the target in a 3-0 win on Saturday.
There was little to separate the two teams after a tight opening period at Nack5 Stadium, but that all changed in the space of two second-half minutes as Olympic team forward Kiyotake struck from the penalty spot before South Korean counterpart Kim doubled Cerezo's advantage.
Kim added a third in the 67th minute as the visitors threatened to run riot, piling more frustration on an Omiya side that had to wait until late August last season before picking up its first home win, and has now failed to do so in three attempts this term.
