FC Tokyo clinched the 2020 J.League Levain Cup on Monday after beating Kashiwa Reysol 2-1 at the Tokyo National stadium.

The final was originally scheduled for November but had to be postponed after the emergence of a COVID-19 cluster infection among Kashiwa Reysol's players and team staff.

Leandro put FC Tokyo ahead on 16 minutes before Kashiwa Reysol levelled matters just before half-time.

Substitute Adailton scored the winning goal in the 74th minute as FC Tokyo clinched the Levain Cup for the third time in their history.
