Yankuba Minteh and Simon Adingra were among the goalscorers as Brighton & Hove Albion recorded a 4-2 win over Tokyo Verdy on Sunday to conclude their pre-season tour of Japan.
The Seagulls had defeated the Kashima Antlers 5-1 in their first game with Minteh opening the scoring.
The newly-signed Gambian forward was at it again against Tokyo Verdy when he scored just before the half time break to give Brighton a 2-1 lead.
