The JFL round 12 fixtures were completed on Sunday, with Kodai Suzuki's last-minute strike - his tenth of the season - giving Honda FC the edge over Rosso Kumamoto in the day's big match. The win puts Honda into second place behind leaders YKK AP with Tochigi SC moving into third thanks to their 2-1 win at Sagawa Kyubin Tokyo. Elsewhere, last-placed Sagawa Printing gained a valuable point in a draw with Mitsubishi Mizushima to stay in touch behind Ryutsu Keizai University, but SC Tottori pulled off only their second win of the year in stunning style. Their 7-0 scoreline against Honda Lock - including two apiece for Tetsuya Hori and top scorer Hideki Uchiyama - is the biggest victory achieved in the JFL this season and moves the club closer to mid-table.
