Brazilian striker Anderson Lopes earned a vital point for troubled Sanfrecce Hiroshima with a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw away to in-form Yokohama F Marinos in the J. League first division on Saturday night.
Playing their first game since Hajime Moriyasu stepped down in midweek as manager of the three-time champions, Sanfrecce fell behind when Marinos substitute Naoki Maeda headed in with nine minutes left.
But Lopes came up with his third goal in two games to earn Hiroshima a share of the spoils in the dying seconds and deny Marinos a sixth straight win.
