(Reuters) - Vissel Kobe won the J.League title for the first time in the club's history on Saturday as two goals in three first half minutes earned Takayuki Yoshida's side a 2-1 victory over Nagoya Grampus.
With one game remaining in the season the win at Kobe Stadium moves Vissel four points clear of last year's champions Yokohama F Marinos, who were held to a 0-0 draw by Albirex Niigata on Friday.
