On the 20th anniversary of the Great Hanshin Earthquake, former Japan striker Kazuyoshi Miura provided the highlights with two goals in a charity match held at Noeivir Stadium Kobe on Saturday.

The 47-year-old Miura, who currently plays for second-division Yokohama FC, and is popularly known as “King Kazu,” teamed up with other current and former Vissel Kobe players to defeat a team of former Japan internationals led by midfielder Hidetoshi Nakata 3-2.

“Through having fans spend money on purchasing tickets, and us playing soccer we were able to be a part of the rebuilding effort,” said Miura, who played for Vissel from 2001 to 2005 and entertained the crowd of 24,000 with his trademark goal-scoring dance.

“There will be more natural disasters in the future, but what is important is that we all have the strength to overcome them,” said Nakata, who became Japan’s first marquee star abroad during his time in Italy’s Serie A.

Ryuji Ishizue, a goalkeeper with Vissel at the time of the Jan. 17, 1995, tragedy that took over 6,000 lives, also played for the home side.

“It’s been all of 20 years, but this game had meaning in reminding us that you can never forget,” the 50-year-old said.
