Shonan Bellmare defeated Japan Football League side Honda FC 1-0 in a closed-door training match on Sunday.

The result came a single day after the Bellmare’s 1-1 draw against Yokohama F. Marinos on matchday 12 of the MEIJI YASUDA J1 League second stage.

Bellmare are in eighth place overall this season and are scheduled to host fellow promoted side Montedio Yamagata this Saturday.

The weekend’s visitors will arrive in serious need of a win, in order to pick themselves off the bottom of the second stage standings.
