Yokohama F Marinos welcome Ulsan HD to the Nissan Stadium for an AFC Champions League clash on Wednesday. The home side will be hoping to bounce back from the 3-1 defeat they suffered at the hands of FC Tokyo at the same venue over the weekend in the J1 League.
They took the lead through Anderson Lopes in the fifth minute but Teppei Oka equalized in the 19th minute. Kota Tawaratsumida and Teruhito Nakagawa scored second-half goals to help the visitors claim maximum points.
Ulsan, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 1-0 away win over Daejeon in the K League 1. Darijan Bojanic's 18th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Their focus will turn to the continent, where they fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Kawasaki Frontale in their curtain-raiser. Marinos suffered a 7-3 loss away to Gwangju FC a fortnight ago.
