Masato Morishige scored his second brace in five days as FC Tokyo climbed to the top of the Group E in the Asian Champions League with a vital 2-1 win away to big-spending Chinese club Jiangsu FC on Wednesday.

Captain and Japan international Morishige opened the scoring with a low drive on the half-hour but the goal was immediately cancelled out through a controversially awarded penalty, converted by Brazilian striker Jo.

But Morishige, who scored a brace before getting sent off with a straight red on the weekend in a 3-2 win over Nagoya Grampus in the J. League, swept home Takuji Yonemoto's corner on the ground in the 83rd minute to hand the Japanese side the points.
