Brosque nets but Shimizu slumps

Everton Kempes (20) cancelled out Genki Omae's early penalty before Yoichiro Kakitani put the home side in front right on half-time.

Alex Brosque (70) then made it 2-2 before Fabio Simplicio scored an 88th-minute winner.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima remains top after a last-gasp win at Nagoya Grampus.

Kohei Shimizu gave the visitor the lead just before half-time, but Marcus Tanaka equalised five minutes into the second period.

However, just when a draw seemed certain, Ryota Moriwaki scored in the last minute to give Hiroshima all three points.

That means it is two points ahead of Vegalta Sendai, which also had a 90th-minute winner to thank for a 2-1 win over Vissel Kobe.

Yuzo Tashiro (19) opened the scoring for Kobe, but the home side hit back through Shingo Akamine (42) and Jiro Kamata's late winner.

Urawa Red Diamonds is third in the table after thrashing Gamba Osaka 5-0, with Leandro and Paulinho both scoring twice and Hiroyuki Abe also getting on the scoresheet.

At the other end of the table, Consadole Sapporo remains bottom after also being hammered 5-0 by Omiya Ardija.

Ardija did not open the scoring until a penalty from Milivoje Novakovic in the 51st minute, but Novakovic went on to complete a hat-trick and Junior Paraiba and Yu Hasegawa also got amongst the goals.

Kawasaki Frontale enjoyed a 2-1 win at FC Tokyo with goals from Jumpei Kusukami (46) and Jeci (54) enough for the points despite a late consolation from Edmilson (88).
