Kendall Watson scored a very late winner for Saprissa as the capital club triumphed 2-1 over Puntarenas, while in Cartago, Herediano hit the front in the 59th minute only for Erick Scott to produce an equaliser for the hosts three minutes later.
The draw on Sunday means Marvin Solano's Herediano (33 points) have not won in three matches in the Costa Rica Primera Division, allowing Saprissa (37) to pull away from the former league leaders.
The visitors' hopes of victory were dashed three minutes later when Paolo Jimenez picked out Scott to ensure Cartagines earned a point.
Alajuelense took advantage of Herediano's draw to move within a point of the second-placed club thanks to a 2-1 victory over Santos de Guapiles, while UCR defeated Limon 4-1 and Carmelita and Belen Siglo XXI played out a 1-1 draw.
