Summary Yoshihito Fujita kept Yokohama Marinos at top of J-League after a 3-2 win over FC Tokyo.
TOKYO (AFP) - Fujita put a 12-yard left-footed shot into the back of the net in injury time, adding to a headed goal following a Takashi Amano pass in the 68th minute.
FC Tokyo must have thought they had done enough to get a draw when Kazuma Watanabe equalised with just eight minutes to go but Fujita had other ideas, paying tribute to the quality of Shingo Hyodo s inch-perfect cross.
"Hyodo watched my position very well and I just needed to flick in my second goal," Fujita said.
"Even though we were behind, we played 90 minutes calmly throughout. I m happy about it," he added.
Tadanari Lee had given FC Tokyo the lead on 27 minutes before former Japan international midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura equalised with a stunning free kick just past the hour mark.
Yokohama s win mean they lead the table on 12 points, two ahead of former Asian club champions Urawa Red Diamonds and Cerezo Osaka.
Urawa beat Albirex Niigata 2-0, while Osaka salvaged a 1-1 draw with Vegalta Sendai.
In the day s other games, defending champions Sanfrecce Hiroshima overwhelmed Shimizu S-Pulse 4-0 with Japanese international striker Hisato Sato scoring twice, while Omiya Ardija pulled off a 3-1 win over Kashima Antlers.
