Kensuke Nagai's first goal of the season gave FC Tokyo a 1-0 win on Sunday over Nagoya Grampus to replace the J. League leaders at the top of the first division.
Nagai scored against his former team to break the deadlock in the 54th minute at Ajinomoto Stadium, breaking away with the ball near the halfway line after a pass from captain Keigo Higashi and driving it home with just the keeper to beat.
"I knew I was going to get the ball from Keigo the moment I saw him, so I started running," said Nagai.
