Tokyo Olympic hopeful Daizen Maeda netted twice as Yokohama F. Marinos salvaged a 3-3 draw against Sanfrecce Hiroshima in the J. League first-division on Sunday, leaving both teams winless after two games.
Marinos, who opened the season with a defeat to champion Kawasaki Frontale, gave away three first-half goals that all involved defensive errors, but well-taken efforts by former Maritimo forward Maeda spared their blushes before the home faithful at Nissan Stadium.
Sanfrecce was ahead within 13 minutes after Ezequiel was fouled in robbing Marinos defender Thiago Martins of the ball in the box, the penalty being converted by fellow Brazilian Junior Santos.
