Jubilo Iwata came roaring back from its opening defeat in the Asian Champions League with a 6-0 thrashing of Hoang Anh Gia Lai of Vietnam in their Group E meeting at Yamaha Stadium on Wednesday.
Iwata, whose 1-0 loss away to China's Shenzhen Jianlibao last week was followed by a 3-0 reverse at home to Nagoya Grampus Eight in the J. League on Sunday, bounced back in style thanks to doubles from Choi Yong Soo and Rodrigo Gral.
Norihiro Nishi opened the scoring after 22 minutes before South Korean striker Choi doubled the lead with a header seven minutes later.
Choi added his second of the night in the 57th and Brazilian Gral helped himself to a brace either side of Robert Cullen's 76th-minute strike.
