Kawasaki ¨C Both Kawasaki Frontale and FC Tokyo had plenty of tricks on Saturday night, but it was league-leading Frontale who left Todoroki Stadium with a treat.
Akihiro Ienaga scored a penalty and Kengo Nakamura celebrated his 40th birthday with the game-winning goal in a 2-1 win that pushed two-time champion Kawasaki three points closer to another star above their badge and Tokyo officially out of title contention under a Halloween full moon.
