Sanfrecce Hiroshima broke out of its scoring doldrums in a 4-0 trouncing of Urawa Reds in the J. League first division on Sunday.
After scoring once in five straight J1 losses, Sanfrecce scored three times on Wednesday in the Asian Champions League, the first time the three-time domestic champions had scored more than one goal in over a month. That carried over into the league on Saturday in a clinical effort away.
Reds were denied the first goal at Saitama Stadium by the post only for the visitors to score in the sixth minute.
