Jun Amano picked the perfect time to score his first career goal, the Yokohama F. Marinos midfielder netting in the dying minutes to lead his side to a 1-0 victory over FC Tokyo in the J. League first division on Sunday.

With a goalless draw looming on the horizon, Amano struck two minutes from time to hand the three points to Erick Mombaerts' side, which improved to 26 points from 15 matches, five points off the pace of Kashiwa Reysol.

With just 32 J1 appearances under his belt, Amano, 25, said he was thrilled to have come through for Marinos, who stretched their unbeaten run to five games including four victories.
