Nagoya Grampus moved into the top two after coming from behind to defeat 10-man Vantforet Kofu 4-1. Mike Havenaar's ninth-minute opener for the visitor's was cancelled out by Keiji Tamada in the 32nd minute, and two minutes later Australia forward Josh Kennedy put the home side ahead with his league-leading 14th goal of the season.
Kofu was reduced to 10 men just before the break when Daniel was dismissed and Jungo Fujimoto fired home from just outside the box to make it 3-1.
Fujimoto then completed the scoring with his second in the 69th minute.
