Kohei Shimizu was at the double for Sanfrecce Hiroshima as they defeated Dezzolla Shimane 4-0 in last Sunday’s training match at Yoshida Soccer Park.
Midfielders Yusuke Chajima and Gakuto Notsuda had already put the MEIJI YASUDA J1 League second stage front-runners into a healthy advantage in the first half.
Shimizu then struck twice in the second half to round off a commanding win against the semi-professional Chugoku League side.
The result serves as ideal preparation for the 2012 and 2013 champions before they host Kawasaki Frontale when league action resumes this Saturday.
