ASIAROOS WRAP: Aussie defender Eddy Bosnar levelled the scores late in Shimizu S-Pulse's 3-3 draw with Joshua Kennedy's Nagoya Grampus in an important J.League clash on Saturday.
In an entertaining contest, Shimizu came from behind three times to snatch a point, with Bosnar scoring the final goal of the game on 79 minutes with a close-range header.
Bosnar, who also picked up a 60th minute booking, played a full game while Kennedy started the game but was replaced on 51 minutes.
The result means Shimizu and Nagoya remain second and third respectively, but slip further behind leaders Kashima Antlers who won 3-2 at Jubilo Iwata.
Elsewhere, Socceroos defensive prospect Matthew Spiranovic started for Urawa Reds as they slumped to a 1-0 home loss against Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
Spiranovic, who Urawa boss Volker Finke praised after the game, had to be replaced on 68 minutes.
Interestingly, Sanfrecce's decisive goal through Tomoaki Makino came four minutes after Spiranovic's substitution.
In Korea's K-League, Sasa Ognenovski played a full game in defence for Seongnam Ilhwa as they kept the pressure on leaders Jeju United with a 1-0 win at Daejeon Citizen.
