Frode Header Keeps Grampus in Title Chase

A last gasp header by Frode Johnsen earned Nagoya a barely deserved point against Tokyo Verdy. Although the Verdy thugs seem intent on fouling their way to J1 survival (as can seen from the game against Gamba last week), they could count themselves unlucky not to have earned all three points against a Grampus team clearly starting to feel the pressure of the title chase.

As it is, Nagoya remain level on points with league leaders Kashima, with only six games left to go.
