[QUOTE="Swami, post: 83344, member: 13"] Aki Day 14: Goeido survives scare to close in on 2nd career title Details Written by Kyodo Category: [URL='http://www.cibersumo.com/en/sumo/history-and-data/press-room-news'][U]News[/U][/URL] Published: 24 September 2017 Hits: 26 [IMG]http://www.cibersumo.com/images/otras/cronica_basho.jpg[/IMG] Ozeki Goeido dodged a bullet on Saturday to rebound from back-to-back defeats and zero in on his second career championship at the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament. Goeido was given a serious run for his money by ninth-ranked maegashira Takanoiwa in the day's penultimate bout at Ryogoku Kokugikan but improved to 11-3, one win ahead of Mongolian yokozuna Harumafuji. Goeido and Harumafuji face off in the final bout of regulation on Sunday, with Harumafuji needing a win to force a championship playoff. Harumafuji holds a 31-11 career record against Goeido at grand tournaments. After a pair of false starts, Goeido survived a couple of big scares against plucky Takanoiwa (8-6), but eventually came through unscathed, toppling the maegashira with a "watashikomi" thigh-grabbing push down. Goeido is the defending champion at this tournament, having won his maiden title here last year with a flawless 15-0 record. Whoever wins the championship on Sunday will have done it without having to face many of the sport's top wrestlers. Three yokozuna -- Hakuho, Kakuryu and Kisenosato -- and two ozeki -- Takayasu and Terunofuji, pulled out of the meet owing to injury. Harumafuji (10-4) kept alive his title hopes by forcing out sekiwake Mitakeumi (7-7) in the day's last bout. Earlier, No. 16 maegashira Asanoyama's hopes of a shock title win in his first tournament in the elite makuuchi division ended after he was sent to a fifth defeat. Third-ranked Onosho (9-5) grabbed Asanoyama by the throat after the tachiai charge and followed up with a two-handed shove to send him off the raised ring. Former ozeki Kotoshogiku scored a ninth win, bellying 11th-ranked maegashira Daieisho (8-6) towards the edge of the dohyo and finishing the job with a shove to the midriff. Swami [/QUOTE]
