Red Bulls Eyeing Promotion - RB Omiya Ardija In Form

RB Omiya Ardija have been immense in their early chase for back-to-back promotions after their success in the J3 saw them covet a move closer to the top flight.

On the back of a 2-0 home win over Mito HollyHock, Omiya Ardija will look to maintain their second placed spot and gain traction on first placed JEF United Chiba.

21-year-old Oriola Sunday netted in the 80th minute only for Kenyu Sugimoto to put the final nail in the coffin just three minutes later.

Another curious point of the game is 19-year-old Rion Ichihara who led the defence to a clean sheet. With just three games under his belt, will we see more of him in the coming games?

Next up, Omiya Ardija face a tough test against Iwaki FC, who they have never won against.
