Shonan Bellmare escaped with a 0-0 draw against Kawasaki Frontale in the J. League on Wednesday night after striker Yu Kobayashi missed a late penalty for the visitors at a rain-soaked BMW Stadium.
Following the postponement of their July 28 clash due to Typhoon Jongdari, the two sides played their rescheduled match in a torrential downpour brought on by another approaching storm system.
Having dominated possession and pinned Bellmare inside their half for long stretches, second-place Frontale missed a golden opportunity to close the gap on league leaders Sanfrecce Hiroshima to a single point by failing to capitalize in the slippery conditions.
