TOKYO - Yokozuna Onosato fell to his second defeat at the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament on Friday as ozeki Aonishiki and former ozeki Asanoyama moved a win behind the leader with two days remaining.

Onosato (11-2) was second best off the opening clash against ozeki Kirishima (7-6) and had to stand firm at the edge before fighting his way back thanks to his firm right overarm belt grip at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan.
