Kashima maintained their 100% record in Group F with a 3-1 win over Indonesia's Persipura at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta, while Lee Dong-gook scored in the second half as Jeonbuk edged out China's Changchun 1-0 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium.

Kashima, who beat whipping boys Persipura 5-0 last week, opened the scoring today after just one minute through Yasushi Endo.

Yustinus Pae gave Persipura brief hope of an upset with a 19th-minute equaliser, but Shinzo Korogi responded for Kashima seven minutes later.

Defender Atsuto Uchida sealed the win 11 minutes before the break as Kashima secured a fourth consecutive appearance in the knockout stage.

In Jeonbuk, the home side ensured the crucial head-to-head advantage over Changchun by following up last week's 2-1 win with a 1-0 triumph courtesy of Lee's fine strike.

The former Middlesbrough striker skipped past two defenders outside the area before curling home a superb effort 10 minutes after the break.
