Yokohama F. Marinos overcame an early setback to beat Melbourne Victory 3-2 and pick up their first win in Group G in the Asian Champions League on Wednesday night.
Cerezo Osaka, meanwhile, had Tatsuya Yamashita to thank as he scored a late equalizer to complete a brace and earn a 2-2 draw away to Thailand's Buriram United in Group E.
At Nissan Stadium, James Troisi fired the Australians in front from the penalty spot, but Yokohama hit back through Sho Ito and Kosuke Nakamachi, who punished poor defending to give the home side the lead. Shingo Hyodo added a late third before James Jeggo pulled one back in time added on for Melbourne.
