'Jesus' Brace Sends Grampus Second

Vegalta Sendai 1-2 Nagoya Grampus


A Josh Kennedy double sees the away team leave it until the last minute again, but they secure a vital win to rise to second in the table. With both Urawa and Shimizu losing yesterday, they are now firmly back in the title hunt. This despite Keiji Tamada being ruled out for this and next weekend's clash against the Antlers and Magnum and his frail hamstring only lasting for nine minutes.

Meanwhile, the Aussie striker's brace now makes him the leading scorer in the league. The first, from the penalty spot, took him level with four joint leaders, and the second (a typically powerful header) takes him to seven goals from his nine appearances this season.
