The Asahi Beer Club Silver Star overcame a sluggish start and scored 34 unanswered points to defeat the Bulls 34-14 on Saturday at Kawasaki Fujimi Stadium in an X League Central Division game.
Yoshitaka Sakurai kicked four field goals for the Silver Star while the defense shut out the Bulls in the second half.
The Silver Star were vulnerable against the Bulls running attack in the first quarter, making tackling mistakes and assignment errors. The Bulls displayed option plays that were effective to keep drives alive. The Bulls took a 14-0 lead midway through the second quarter on quarterback Keita Fujiwara's 14-yard run 5:22 into the first quarter and his 5-yard scoring pass to Ryuji Takahama seven minutes later.
