The big four clubs in the Hokushinetsu League Division 1 all made it two wins out of two in the new league season on Sunday - and this league is shaping up to be one of the most closely fought of all Japan's regional competitions. Zweigen Kanazawa needed two late goals to come from behind and squeeze past Ueda Gentian, the winner coming seven minutes from time courtesy of former Rosso Kumamoto forward Daisuke Yoneyama. But champions Japan Soccer College had an easier time of it in their 5-0 win over relegation favourites Niigata University of Management.
JSC are therefore dead level with Matsumoto Yamaga Club, who fought off the challenge of the best of the other four sides in the division, Ishikawa prefecture's Fervorosa. New striker Masato Katayama was again on target for Yamaga in a 2-0 win, which was watched by another excellent crowd of more than 1800 people. Current leaders on goal difference, however, are Matsumoto's local rivals AC Nagano Parceiro, for whom last week' hat-trick hero Taiten Sato added another two goals in a 4-1 defeat of promoted side Valiente Toyama.
