Andres Iniesta's goalscoring start to his Vissel Kobe career continued as he netted his second for the club in his fourth appearance courtesy of a superb solo effort against Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

With Kobe trailing to Patric's goal in the first half at Misaki Park Stadium, Iniesta pulled off a moment of brilliance for the second time in as many games.

The 34-year-old sent two defenders the wrong way before beating a third and firing a 20-yard thunderbolt into the top-left corner beyond Sanfrecce goalkeeper Takuto Hayashi.


The strike came after he opened his J.League account in Kobe's previous fixture, scoring their first in a 2-1 victory over Jubilo Iwata.
