Ado Onaiwu and Teruhito Nakagawa scored two goals each as Yokohama’s Australian boss Ange Posetcoglou engineered an emphatic win against his countrymen.

The win, which follows last week’s 2-1 victory away at Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, gives the Japanese club an early six-point lead at the top of Group H, although the rest of the teams all hold games in hand.

Furuhashi’s goal in the final minute brought a positive end to what had been a frustrating evening for the Emperor’s Cup holders, who had kicked off their challenge for the continental title last week with a 5-1 win over Malaysian champions Johor Darul Ta’zim.

Neither side impressed for much of the 89 minutes before Furuhashi claimed the only goal of the game, with Vissel being made to work much harder than they had seven days earlier by a Suwon team playing their first game of the season.

Wang's close-range finish on 23 minutes was the tie's only goal in the 1-0 scoreline at The Power of Chiangrai Stadium, with Beijing FC taking home maximum points from their first Group E outing after sitting out the Matchday One games the previous week.

Leandro’s strike from distance eight minutes from time was all that separated the teams in the Group F clash at Tokyo Stadium, with Perth unfortunate not to leave the Japanese capital with a point.

After a scoreless first half, a brace from Hassan Al Haydos after Akram Afif had opened the scoring early in the second period gave Qatar's Al Sadd their first win of the competition, having played to a 2-2 draw with Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr on Matchday One.

Omar Yaseen gave UAE's Al Ain the lead in the first half but Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr made a second-half comeback to level the tie through Mukhtar Ali before Abderazzak Hamdallah netted the winner 10 minutes before the end at the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium.

Pakhtakor have lost just once in the last 26 competitive ties and Monday's 3-0 win over Islamic Republic of Iran's Shahr Khodro was another example of just why Shota Arveladze's side have been in such fine fettle.
