Brazilian winger Hernandes scored twice in a four-minute span to secure Asian Champions League debutant Incheon United a 4-2 upset against J. League heavyweights Yokohama F. Marinos in their opening Group G match on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old attacker delivered a game-winning performance off the bench for the visiting K-League side, which made the most of limited possession at Nissan Stadium as it repeatedly exposed the J1 champion on the counter.
Marinos twice fought back from a goal down in the first half, with Takuma Nishimura equalizing after Incheon opened on an own goal and Ryo Miyaichi making it 2-2 after the Korean outfit went ahead again thanks to a superb counterattacking effort from winger Gerso.
