Beijing Guoan 1-1 FC Tokyo

Emperor's Cup winners FC Tokyo remained three points clear at the top of Group F alongside Ulsan Hyundai after extending their unbeaten start in the AFC Champions League with a 1-1 draw with Beijing Guoan on Wednesday.

Aria Jasuru Hasegawa's second goal of the campaign a minute before half-time at the Worker's Stadium cancelled out Wang Xiaolong's early penalty as Beijing were forced to settle for a second consecutive 1-1 draw at home.

With K-League side Ulsan coming from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at home to Australia's Brisbane Roar, unbeaten duo Ulsan and FC Tokyo lead the way in Group F at the halfway stage of the Group Stage with winless pair Beijing and Brisbane both three points off the pace.
