Urawa Reds swept aside FC Seoul in emphatic fashion in the Asian Champions League on Tuesday night, exacting revenge for their defeat in the round of 16 last year with a thumping 5-2 win to make it maximum points from two games in Group F.
But Japanese champion and Club World Cup finalist Kashima Antlers suffered a shock 2-1 defeat away to Thailand's Muangthong United in Group E.
Reds picked up where they left off after a 4-0 demolition of Western Sydney Wanderers on the road last week, taking a 2-0 lead through goals from Yuki Muto and Tadanari Lee after 11 minutes at Saitama Stadium.
