Diego Oliveira scored twice in the opening half, while Kensuke Nagai netted his 50th J. League first-division goal, as FC Tokyo showed its class with a 3-1 dismantling of Kashima Antlers on Sunday.

FC Tokyo spent less than half as much time in possession as the visiting Asian champion but made the most of its chances as it hit quickly on the break.
