Cerezo Osaka 1, Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo 1

Léo Ceará stayed red hot with his seventh goal in the last six matches but Yuya Asano’s early tally was good enough to earn a road point for Consadole and drop Cerezo from first to third in the table.

Albirex Niigata 1, Sanfrecce Hiroshima 1

Albirex played nearly an hour down a man, but Yoshiaki Takagi scored deep into stoppage time to rescue them a phenomenal point against Sanfrecce.

Iranian striker Shahab Zahedi is on an absolute tear so far in Japan and he scored his best goal yet, netting from well in his own half to beat Gamba and set off celebrations in Fukuoka.

Yasuto Wakizaka, Asahi Sasaki and Akihiro Ienaga all found the back of the net as Frontale won against the Reds to snap a five-match winless streak.
