Kosuke Taketomi scored twice as Kashiwa Reysol became the first Japanese team to reach the last 16 of this year's Asian Champions League with a 3-2 win at home to South Korea's Jeonbuk Motors on Wednesday night.
Eduardo put Kashiwa in front early on, before Taketomi hit his double, but the home side had to withstand a second-half fightback to secure victory and top spot in Group E after Lee Dong Gook scored a pair of beauties for the visitors.
Kashiwa improved to 11 points and maintains its perfect record of qualifying for the knockout stage in the elite continental tournament with a game to spare.
