Fernando Torres struggled, but he picked one massive day to score his first goal in Japanese soil.
The former Atlético footballer sent the ball to the back of the net in his Emperors' Cup clash against Vissel Kobe, Andrés Iniesta's team, helping Sagan Tosu make it to the next round of the competition.
The build-up to Torres' goal included a massive dribble by Akito Fukuta, which set up the Spaniard nicely send the ball to the back of the net.

Even if there were reasons for him to be unhappy, Andrés Iniesta took time to celebrate the historic meeting between two legendary Spanish footballers in Japanese soil. Here's Iniesta's message as originally posted via Twitter.
Today is a very special day, after all these years and so many great moments together we meet again in Japan. So happy to see you again, my friend, I wish you all the best, @Torres! pic.twitter.com/VekHFQIzVw
