What a crazy way to close out the J1 season!

There're 18 J1 teams. Top 15 teams remain in J1 the following year. On the last match day, Jubilo Iwata was 30sec away from finishing the season in 12th place. Instead they score an own goal at the absolute last moment, which sees them tumble all the way down to 16th place and now has to go to relegation playoff. Jubilo are 10 wins & 13 losses for the year (11 draws), but even that still puts them in bottom 3 for crying out loud. Meanwhile you had Nagoya Grampus which were at the bottom of the table for much of the first half of the season, then pulled off 7 wins in a row to climb up to like 10th, then lost 6 out of the next 8, drew the last match and were convinced they were going to the relegation playoff... until the Jubilo disaster miraculously saved them. 5 teams from 12th-16th place all tied at 41 points. Just a fun, crazy season. Sorry, wrong sport.
