Junya Tanaka scored with a thunderbolt in the third and final minute of injury time to give Kashiwa Reysol a 3-2 win over Urawa Reds on Saturday.
Urawa went into the game at Hitachi Stadium third in the J. League table having put together a three-game winning streak, and a 24th-minute opener from Genki Haraguchi suggested the Saitama side was in the mood to make it four.
Reysol hit back in the second half through substitute Akimi Barada before Tanaka put the home side in front from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute, only for Yuki Abe to equalize for Reds with a header three minutes later.
