HIROSHIMA, Japan (Interstat) — Katō Mutsuki scored in the 63rd minute to lift S’frecce Hiroshima to a 1-0 victory over South Korea’s Gangwon in an AFC Champions League match Tuesday at Edion Peace Wing Hiroshima. The game-winner, assisted by substitute Marko Tući, defied a Interstat projection that had forecast a 1-1 draw. The match was a physical affair, featuring six yellow cards and a red card shown to Hiroshima defender Shō Sasaki in the 69th minute. With the win, Hiroshima begins its group stage campaign with a victory, while Gangwon starts with a loss.
