Kashima Antlers are sitting pretty after a brilliant five-goal display against Singapore Armed Forces.

The Japanese club jumped to the top of the Group G table after the win which was music to the ears of coach Oswaldo Oliveira.

"When I heard the final whistle, that was the best moment of the game today because we confirmed the victory and I had no injured players," said Oliveira.

"I think we played well. One of the characteristics of our team is to play hard to the very end of the game, which they did today.

"Now we continue trying to qualify for the next phase."
