Honda FC made virtually sure of the 2006 JFL title on Thursday with a 5-1 thrashing of FC Ryukyu, placing them six points ahead of Sagawa Kyubin Tokyo with just two games remaining. Ryukyu in fact took a 20th-minute lead through a rare goal from defender Wataru Nakazato, but a hat-trick from star striker Junya Nitta saw Honda through to a comfortable victory. Sagawa Tokyo too strolled to three points against lowly opposition in the shape of Mitsubishi Mizushima, which included a 26th goal of the season for JFL top marksman Tetsuya Okubo.
Leading the fight for third place are Sagawa Kyubin Osaka, 3-1 winners over SC Tottori, while Rosso Kumamoto got their first victory in three games at Sagawa Printing despite conceding twice in injury time. In fact, the only losers out of the top five teams were YKK AP in the Toyama derby clash with Alo's Hokuriku, although YKK's Mitsuru Hasegawa was on target for the tenth time this year with his consolation effort in a 2-1 defeat.
Of the chasing teams, Tochigi SC needed a last-minute goal to defeat JEF Club 2-1 and Yokogawa Musashino picked up a first win in four against Ryutsu Keizai University. With Mitsubishi, Ryukyu and RKU all losing, at the foot of the table Honda Lock gave themselves a chance of avoiding a relegation play-off place as they won 3-2 at a Sony Sendai side who now have just one win in twelve games, Shoma Mizunaga grabbing two crucial goals for Lock. In the other match, Arte Takasaki squeezed past FC Kariya with the only goal of the game.
