Hong Kong: Australian manager Peter Cklamovski began life at FC Tokyo by bagging all three points as the capital city club defeated high-flying Nagoya Grampus 2-0 on Saturday with Brazilian striker Diego Oliveira’s brace ending the side’s four-game winless run in Japan. 

Lee Soon-min and Lee Kun-hee were on target as Gwangju FC inflicted a 2-0 defeat on Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in new head coach Dan Petrescu’s first game in charge, leaving last season’s runners-up 20 points behind leaders and reigning champions Ulsan Hyundai.
