Kawasaki Frontale claimed their first J-League title from under the noses of reigning champions Kashima Antlers in a dramatic final day of the 2017 season on Saturday. Antlers' 0-0 draw with long-time rivals Jubilo Iwata handed the championship to Frontale, whose 5-0 win over Omiya Ardija ensured Toru Oniki's team finished ahead of Kashima on goal difference in the final standings. The title win is Kawasaki's first after a trio of second-place finishes in 2006, 2008 and 2009.
