Hat-trick hero Tolgay Arslan was unstoppable against FC Tokyo as the German scored three goals to lead Sanfrecce to their seventh consecutive win and the top of the table.

FC Machida Zelvia 2, Urawa Reds 2

It was a wet and wild match at the National Stadium, with Erik scoring eight minutes into stoppage time to steal a point for Zelvia against the Reds.

Avispa Fukuoka 0, Vissel Kobe 2

Reigning MVP Yuya Osako was superb, finishing a gorgeous team move and drawing a penalty to seal a massive win in Fukuoka for Vissel.

Kashiwa Reysol 2, Tokyo Verdy 3

Another crazy ending in the rain! Verdy and Reysol traded goals until Hijiri Onaga scored a beautiful winner into the top corner to deliver Verdy full points in Kashiwa.

Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo 2, Kawasaki Frontale 0

A pair of second-half goals gave Consadole their third win on the bounce, moving out of last place with an impressive victory against the visiting Frontale.
