Omiya Ardija came from behind to end Kashima Antlers' unbeaten start to the J. League season with a 3-1 win on Saturday.
Davi put Kashima ahead in the 15th minute at Nack5 Stadium before Shin Kanazawa equalized with a long-range effort nine minutes before halftime, and Milivoje Novakovic shifted the balance further when he gave the home side the lead shortly after the break.
Substitute Takamitsu Tomiyama then put the icing on the cake with a spectacular third goal 11 minutes from time, capping a successful afternoon for an Omiya side that has yet to taste defeat four games into the new season.
