Spanish midfielder Isaac Cuenca gave a man-of-the-match performance as last-place Sagan Tosu secured just their second win of the season by beating fellow strugglers Gamba Osaka 3-1 in the J. League first-division on Saturday.
Cuenca headed in the opening goal from a corner in the 16th minute and later earned the penalty kick from which former Japan striker Yohei Toyoda doubled the lead at Ekimae Real Estate Stadium.
Riki Harakawa added Sagan's third in the 90th minute, moments before Ryotaro Meshino pulled a goal back for the visitors in injury time.
