Keisuke Honda VVV Venlo V. F.C. Eindhoven 1 goal
After a terrible match against Bahrain, where he played the uncomfortable position of left mid, Honda was ready to get back on track. And he did so in the perfect manner. After scoring the opening goal, Venlo went on to score 5 more enroute to an amazing 6-0 win over F.C. Eindhoven. Honda played a critical role throughout the match and was the keep contributers to almost all of the goals. This weeks match against Bahrain, brought Venlo’s manager to Bahrain to scout some Japanese players after the success of Honda. Some of the names that were mentioned were wonderkid Shinji Kagawa and Takeshi Inui. Unfortunately for him, all he saw was a poorly played game where Honda was not able to display his true talents by playing in the center. Hopefully he will learn from this encounter and perform better when he gets a chance.
