Urawa Reds cut Kawasaki Frontale's lead at the top of the overall J. League table to two points after coming from behind to beat FC Tokyo 3-1 on Saturday.
Frontale, kicking off one hour before Urawa took on Tokyo, conceded an 89th-minute goal to lose their game against Omiya Ardija 3-2, but Urawa looked incapable of taking advantage when Masato Morishige gave Tokyo a 48th-minute lead from the penalty spot at Ajinomoto Stadium.
But Urawa's persistence paid off when substitute Tadanari Lee headed home an equalizer in the 77th minute, before a Keigo Higashi own goal put the visitors in front seven minutes later and Shinzo Koroki added another before full-time.
