J.League 2018 Highlights Show: Round 18

  • 6 years ago
Sanfrecce are soaring above the rest…

And it’s up to the Reds to bring the high flyers…

Back down to Earth..

In Round Eighteen of the J-League.

Last week saw 59 goals scored across rounds 15 and 16, yet leaders Sanfrecce fired blanks in their nil all draw with Nagoya Grampus…

That paved the way for FC Tokyo to make up ground on the frontrunners, and they did so emphatically with a 5-2 victory over Yokohama F-Marinos…

Defending champions Kawasaki Frontale meanwhile, needed just the one goal to account for V-Varen and stretch their winning streak to four matches.

There were no changes to the top five positions in the aftermath of Round 17… but Sanfrecce’s lead had been cut back to seven points.

Let’s get the show underway now with the highlights from Round 18.
