Daizen Maeda struck a first-half brace and Ryuta Koike added a third after the break as Yokohama F. Marinos outclassed Urawa Reds 3-0 in the J. League first division on Sunday.
Both first-half goals at Yokohama's Nissan Stadium came after Marinos applied pressure high up the pitch and forced Urawa to cough up possession in attacking territory.
Maeda opened the scoring after just two minutes, volleying home at the back post after Reds keeper Shusaku Nishikawa tried to parry away a cross from Teruhito Nakagawa.
