FC Tokyo 3 Urawa Red Diamonds 4 - Reds edge seven-goal J-League thriller

Tokyo 3 Urawa Reds 4 Match in a minute from the Ajinomoto Stadium where Urawa Reds won 4-3 at FC Tokyo to pull 9 points clear of their hosts whilst chasing J-League Leaders Hiroshima. Urawa scored three goals in 15 first-half minutes , as Yosuke Kashiwagi pounced on an error from Vlada Avmarov and two minutes late striker Yuki Moto found a beautiful top-corner finish from 15 yards for his 12th strike of the season. A third goal in 5 minutes came as Tokyo scored through Kiego Higashi beating Tomoai Makino down the right before scoring at the near post, but Takahino Sekine replied to pull Urawa clear. The Reds led 4-1 just after the hour, defender Makino marauding forward and stroking home after a delightful back-heel from Zlatan Ljubijankic. Tokyo foughtback through a Hideto Takahashi brace, but a late Higashi volley was well-saved as Urawa held on to claim a third away win in their last four – Tokyo remain third.
