SUPER-RICH Chinese champions Guangzhou Evergrande roared to the top of their AFC Champions League group yesterday, with resurgent former winners Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in hot pursuit.
Argentine midfielder Dario Conca, reputedly one of the world's best-paid players, and Brazilian import Muriqui were both on target as Guangzhou beat Kashiwa Reysol 3-1 at home.
Guangzhou's second win in four Group H games was enough to supplant stumbling Thai champions Buriram United, which fell 3-2 to 2006 champions Jeonbuk.
At Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center, they were ahead through Conca on 29 minutes before Hiroki Sakai leveled five minutes after half-time.
But within minutes Muriqui, Guangzhou's top-scorer last season, had the Chinese side back in front and he added gloss to the win six minutes from time.
In Group F, FC Tokyo defeated Beijing Guoan 3-0 to stay on top of its group.
