Urawa Reds dominated possession but lacked a finishing touch Sunday as they were held to a 0-0 draw by visiting Sagan Tosu in the J. League.
Urawa came into the match on the edge of the relegation zone on 15 points with just one league win since Oswaldo Oliveira replaced fired manager Takafumi Hori for the club's April 25 clash with Kashiwa Reysol, a 1-0 loss.
With Japan manager Akira Nishino watching from the stands at a rain-soaked Saitama Stadium, the hosts spent the majority of the match in second-from-bottom Sagan's defensive third, searching for a breakthrough that never materialized.
