Nathan Burns scored the winner and created the opener as FC Tokyo defeated Japanese treble-winner Gamba Osaka 2-1 for its third straight victory in the J. League second stage on Sunday.
Takuji Yonemoto put Tokyo on the board early thanks to Burns before Patric erased the lead on the other side of halftime. But Massimo Ficcadenti's side had the last laugh as Burns netted his second goal in Japan midway through the second half.
"It was a great bit of passenger play, a bit of combination and I just put my head on it," the Australian international said of his 58th-minute strike.
