Urawa Reds can wrap up the J. League first-stage title race this weekend after stretching their unbeaten run to a record 14 games in a come-from-behind 3-3 draw away to Kashiwa Reysol on Wednesday.
Yuki Muto's injury-time header pushed Urawa on to 34 points with three matches left, seven points ahead of champions Gamba Osaka who have a game in hand. Gamba defeated Kashima Antlers 2-0 at home.
If Reds beat Shimizu S-Pulse at home on Sunday and Gamba lose at home to Vissel Kobe, Reds will be crowned stage winners and book a spot in the postseason.
