What a week of top flight action! Kawasaki won at the death twice in five days to re-establish a comfortable buffer at the top, after Yokohama F.Marinos dropped two points late on against city rivals Yokohama FC on Saturday. We begin Part 1 with the top two (to 20:35), and then move on to the Relegation Dogfight, which further tightened after Tokushima's last gasp win at Sendai (to 27:07).
Later in Part 2 we round up the results for the teams still in the hunt for third, and review the rest of the Matchday 30 fixtures, before looking ahead to the weekend's slate.
