Urawa Reds saw their record run of clean sheets come to an end but stayed on top the J. League table after a 1-1 draw with Kashima Antlers on Saturday.
Reds went into the match at Saitama Stadium having gone a J. League-best-ever seven games without conceding a goal, and Shinzo Koroki gave the home side more to celebrate when he opened the scoring after a goalmouth scramble in the 20th minute.
But Gaku Shibasaki brought the run to a halt when he lashed home an equalizer in the 30th minute, breaching Urawa's defense for the first time in 660 minutes of J. League action stretching back to April 26.
