Diego Forlan continues his search for a first J.League goal when his Cerezo Osaka side visit leaders Kashima Antlers on Sunday. The Uruguayan finally got on the board for his new club on Tuesday, when his team thrashed Buriram United in the AFC Champions League.
But the 34-year-old has been frustrated in the league and went close on several occasions as his side brushed past Shimizu S-Pulse 4-1 on Saturday.
Ranko Popovic’s men have shared the load in the league with six players scoring once each to see them sitting third with two wins from three matches.
A trip to the Kashima Soccer Stadium shapes as a huge test, with Toninho Cerezo’s men having won all three of their league matches while scoring nine times and not conceding.
Yasushi Endo has done the bulk of their scoring with three as their defence has held firm, albeit with two wins coming against teams currently in the bottom half.
