Fernando Torres suffers 1-0 defeat in Japanese debut

By Promise Amadi

Fernando Torres made his J.League debut off the bench for Sagan Tosu, but suffered a 1-0 home defeat from Vegalta Sendai

The Spaniard kept trying and created a number of opportunities, almost every time that he was on the ball, but rivals Vegalta Sendai stunned the crowds as they scored a late goal on the counter-attack.

Defeat leaves Sagan Tosu in the relegation zone and five league games without a win, though Torres’ arrival has boosted the atmosphere in and around the club, with fans already having created a song for him, and he hopes to rescue them from the drop.
