Reds get the result they were after in Saudi Arabia, sleeping giants rouse from their slumber, movement in the top flight top four, and the rest of the J1 matchday - it's all in our new pod.

We begin with Urawa's battling draw away at Al Hilal in the first leg of the ACL Final, leaving it all to play for at Saitama Stadium this Saturday night (to 10:00), then move on to convincing wins on Saturday - that took them both out of the bottom six - for Kashima and Kawasaki (to 27:35).

Next its on to the top four, with Kobe still top of the pile, and Hiroshima now their closest challengers after the draw at the Nissan Stadium (to 45:00), before we finish with wins for FC Tokyo and Sapporo, and the draw between Kashiwa and Kyoto.
