Shinzo Koroki scored a goal in each half Wednesday night to lead Urawa Reds to a 2-0 victory away against reigning J. League champions Kawasaki Frontale and give Oswaldo Oliveira his first win as their manager.

The 67-year-old Brazilian oversaw back-to-back defeats in his first two games since replacing sacked head coach Takafumi Hori, but said he would avoid making major changes until the pre-World Cup recess starting later this month.

The visitors nevertheless put together arguably their most impressive 90 minutes of soccer this season, ceding possession to the hosts and hitting on the counterattack at a wet Todoroki Stadium.
