Kashiwa fails to regain J-League lead

A weekend of surprises, with the exception of the Nagoya juggernaut rolling on. Grampus are playing with extreme confidence at the minute and it looks like they again will be the team to beat. It will be a massive match on Wednesday when they travel to Osaka to face Gamba.

Jubilo gave Kashiwa a complete schooling, Reysol were an absolute shambles but full credit to Jubilo who tore them apart time and time again with some slick passing moves. Kashiwa have what looks to be a home banker against Avispa Fukuoka next week, but after this you wonder what frame of mind they will be in.

As ever, the J-League is predictably unpredictable!
