A Kengo Kawamata brace propelled Jubilo Iwata to a 2-1 victory Sunday over visiting Urawa Reds, who remain winless after five rounds of the J. League season.
Kawamata broke a 1-1 deadlock with an 80th-minute winner at Ecopa Stadium, as his strike from the left side of the penalty area bounced over Reds goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa after taking a deflection.
The visiting Asian Champions League holders took the lead in the eighth minute from the penalty spot, with Shinzo Koroki converting after Iwata captain Kentaro Oi was ruled to have handled inside the area.
