Urawa Reds' reprisal at the top of the J.League proved to be short-lived as the former Asian champions were held to a 0-0 draw by Ventforet Kofu on Tuesday.

Urawa had returned to the summit of J1 for the first time in four years after Saturday's games, but was stifled by relegation-challenged Kofu in the last soccer match to be played at the National Stadium before its rebuilding begins in July for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Unseating Mihailo Petrovic's side for the league lead by one point were Sagan Tosu, who improved to 24 points with a 1-0 victory at home to Kashiwa Reysol.
