Kawasaki Frontale missed a chance to reclaim top spot from the idle Urawa Reds in the J. League first division on Wednesday after a being held to a 1-1 draw at home against Vegalta Sendai.
Shingo Tomita headed plucky Sendai into the lead after 70 minutes before a fine solo effort from Ryota Oshima salvaged a point for Yahiro Kazama's side.
The result left Kawasaki one point behind Reds, whose game away to Gamba Osaka was rescheduled for June 15 due to their involvement in the Asian Champions League. Sendai, which has not won in the league since edging Kashima Antlers 1-0 at home on March 12, is second-from-bottom with eight points.
