Veteran Japan striker Masashi Nakayama and South Korea marksman Choi Yong Soo found the net twice apiece Wednesday as Jubilo Iwata and JEF United Ichihara battled to a 2-2 draw in the first leg of their J. League Nabisco Cup quarterfinal tie at Kamoike stadium in Kagoshima.
Nakayama put first-stage winner Iwata ahead after 37 minutes before Choi replied in the 69th and 77th minutes, only to see Nakayama equalize with his second nine minutes from the final whistle.
At Komaba stadium, Brazilian playmaker Adriano scored from a free kick in the dying minutes to give Urawa Reds a 1-0 win at home to Nabisco Cup holder Kashima Antlers in an ill-tempered match which saw two sendings-off and six yellow cards.
