(Reuters) - Vissel Kobe completed the successful defence of their J-League title on Sunday by beating Shonan Bellmare 3-0 in front of their own fans on the final day of the season.
Kobe, who won the domestic crown for the first time last season, topped the standings by four points from second-placed Sanfrecce Hiroshima while Machida Zelvia, last year's second division winners, finished third.
