The Japanese national team duo of Stade Reims in France has been flying fast since the beginning of the season. Junya Ito (31) and Keito Nakamura (24) scored goals side by side to lead their team's victory.

Stade Reims beat Ange SCO 3-1 in the French Ligue 1 team in the away match on Thursday. Stade Reims has secured five consecutive wins (three wins and two draws) since losing 0-2 to Lille in the opening match to rank fourth in the league.

Japanese national team Ito and Nakamura played as strikers on both sides of the second line and led the team's offense. Nakamura opened the scoring first. He took Cedric Kippre's pass at the ninth minute of the first half and chest trapped it before hitting the net with his right foot. He has scored goals in three consecutive games in recent months.

Ito then scored an additional goal in the 25th minute of the first half. Ito, who caught the ball in the penalty area, calmly folded it and scored a goal with a right footed shot. Ito, who has given Nakamura consecutive assists in the last two games, scored his second goal of the season in three games.

In addition to the goals, Ito led the team's attack, including two key passes and two dribbles, and received an 8.0 rating, the highest between both teams, from statistical media Sofa Score. 메이저놀이터

Japanese media 'Tosport Web' reported, "The Japanese duo is the driving force behind Stade Reims' unbeaten five games," adding, "They also raised expectations in the two consecutive games against Saudi Arabia and Australia in the third Asian qualifying round for the North-China World Cup in October."
