Patric entered the game in the second half and needed little time to make his mark, scoring his first goal of the season with a header from inside the area. This crucial strike ensured Zweigen Kanazawa's qualification for the next stage of the competition.
The Japanese side has been striving to return to the elite of Japanese football after narrowly missing out on promotion last season. With 102 goals to his name, Patric is the fifth-highest scorer in the J League, having played for Gamba Osaka since 2013 and contributing to the team's championship wins in the J League and Copa do Imperador.
Zweigen Kanazawa will now focus on their next match, aiming to continue their push for promotion to the top division.
