The result puts a dent in the Reds' hopes of reaching the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League.

The J.League champions had appeared on course for victory after second-half goals by Robson Ponte and Yuki Abe wiped out a 2-1 half-time deficit, but Sudarsono shot home from close range seven minutes from time to give the Liga Indonesia champions a deserved point.

Shinji Ono had given Urawa an early lead from the penalty spot, but a brace by Uruguayan striker Christian Gonzalez put Persik ahead at half-time.

A depleted Uwara found themselves under heavy pressure early on as Persik tried to grab an early advantage.

But from virtually their first foray upfield, the visitors earned a penalty in the ninth minute with Ponte falling under a clumsy challenge by Restu Setyo Kartiko.

Ono then coolly slotted the ball past Kurnia Sandy.

The Indonesian side should have had a penalty of their own five minutes later when Gonzalez was pulled down by Keisuke Tsuboi as he attempted to turn the Urawa defender, but Bangladeshi referee Tayeb Shamsuzzaman waved away the Uruguayan's protests.

If Persik felt hard done by on that occasion, they could hardly complain when they were awarded a debatable penalty in the 23rd minute when Bertha Putra tumbled over as he went for a high ball with Nene.

Gonzalez sent Ryota Tsuzuki the wrong way from the spot to level the score.

Ono had the ball in the net for a second time in the 26th minute, only to see the effort ruled out for an apparent foul by the Japan midfielder on Restu.

To the delight of the home fans, Persik went ahead in the 31st minute as Gonzalez latched onto a pass by Danilo Fernando on the left of the Urawa box and fired a spectacular left-footed drive across Tsuzuki into the far corner of the net.

The visitors were back on level terms in the 50th minute when Yuichiro Nagai sent in a low cross from the right to Ponte who controlled the ball and fired a volley that bounced just out of the reach of Sandy.

They stepped up the pressure and went ahead in the 62nd minute when Ponte's corner from the left was glanced home by an unchallenged Yuki Abe.

However, the visitors attempted to sit back on their lead in the closing minutes and they were punished in the 83rd minute when Erol Iba fed the ball to Sudarsono, whose low shot from 10 yards went between the legs of Satoshi Horinouchi and crept past Tsuzuki.
