Kashima Antlers remained unbeaten in their Asian Champions League campaign Wednesday night with a 2-0 away victory over Australian domestic competition leaders Sydney FC.

In what had been a largely uneventful first half, Shoma Doi opened the scoring in the 40th minute as Sydney failed to defend a corner, tapping in from close range after Yuma Suzuki miscued a shot into his path.

Naomichi Ueda put the result beyond doubt three minutes from the end of regulation, once again punishing the home side's inability to deal with a corner. The defender headed home from the center of the box after Shuta Yamamoto rose to meet Ryota Nagaki's corner kick and directed the ball through the air.
