Sean Carroll guests for a full review of J1 Matchday 13.
After beginning with a look back at last Wednesday's games hosted by the ACL clubs, we move on to Saturday's action, which saw two of them facing off, and there was late drama at the Noevir Stadium as hosts Kobe snatched a point at the death against Yokohama F.Marinos, while Part 1 also covers FC Tokyo's combative win away at Gamba Osaka, leaders Kawasaki well and truly getting back to winning ways, and Cerezo Osaka's win on Sunday at Yokohama FC (to 40:47).
Part 2 begins with Kashima breaking Kashiwa hearts with a late flurry and Urawa also coming from behind to win at home against Oita - apologies Reds fans, in a slip of the tongue I called Leonardo Leandro, my excuse is I was worried about mispronouncing Trinita goalkeeper Mun Kyung Gun's name in the same sentence - and finishes with the two draws and a look ahead to the fixtures in the coming week.
