Kenya international Ayub Timbe scored his first two goals for Vissel Kobe as they thrashed Tokushima Vortis 3-0 in a Japanese J1-League Cup on Wednesday.
The Harambee Stars winger started in the game at Pocarisweat Stadium and it was Kobe, who took a deserved lead with only two minutes played when Hotaru Yamaguchi found the back of the net with a low footed effort.
Kobe went into the half-time break leading 1-0 and in the second half, Timbe, who signed for the Japanese club from Beijing Renhe, then scored his first goal in the 52nd minute and then sealed the win in the 93rd minute with his second goal of the day.
