Ado Onaiwu’s hat trick gave Yokohama F. Marinos a comfortable 3-0 win over a frustrated FC Tokyo side on Saturday in a game played behind closed doors due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
“It was a good game for us. We worked really hard, pressed hard as a team and put them under pressure,” Marinos manager Ange Postecoglou said. “When we had the ball we were always dangerous. We scored three good goals but could have had more.”
The defeat at Ajinomoto Stadium extended Tokyo’s misery to four straight losses in the J. League’s first division, leaving Kenta Hasegawa’s side 20 points adrift of league-leading Kawasaki Frontale.
