(JEF United Chiba rose one place in the table and strengthened their hopes of a play-off place as they defeated Thespa Kusatsu 2-0 at the Fukuda Denshi Arena.

Yazawa was again inolved in JEF’s second of the match, driving at the Thespa defence before laying the ball off to defender Keiji Watanabe, whose cross square across goal was converted by Yusuke Tanaka)

(Gainare Tottori took a further stride towards safety with a 2-0 victory at home to Thespa Kusatsu.

(JEF United Chiba appeared to be heading for victory in their clash with Tokyo Verdy when Tatsuya Yazawa connected with Tomoyuki Arata’s low cross inside the six yard box to put his side 2-1 ahead with four minutes of normal time to play. However, a stunning first-time volleyed return ball by substitute Ryosuke Tone, only introduced in the 89th minute, allowed Takuma Abe to control and clip his shot past Masahiro Okamoto in the third minute of added time for a share of the points. JEF and Verdy are two of three teams on 58 points in the fight for a minimum of a play-off berth, joining Oita Trinita who slipped to a 1-0 home defeat against Tochigi SC, the latter only two points further afield)

(Montedio Yamagata claim the point their pressure deserved in their visit to the Pocarisweat Stadium, having gone behind by two goals to Tokushima Vortis inside the first 35 minutes. Tomoyasu Hirose started the revival with a quarter of an hour to play, and Branquinho converted a spot-kick ten minutes later to complete the comeback. Kim Jong-Min handled a Shogo Nishikawa header on the goalline to leave referee Ryoichi Imamura no choice but to show the substitute forward a red card and award the penalty. Montedio remain in fourth position in the table)
