Machida Zelvia thrashed FC Tokyo 1-5 away, with defender Yuta Nakayama the standout performer, though no next fixture is set. The scoreline flattered no one as the visitors produced a ruthless away display in this J.League encounter, leaving the home side facing a sobering reality.

The match turned decisively when Kento Hashimoto was sent off for FC Tokyo in the 37th minute, and Machida capitalised ruthlessly. Mitchell Duke levelled with an assist from Nakayama on 27 minutes, then Takahiro Akimoto struck on the stroke of half-time to make it 2-1. After the break, Yuki Soma extended the lead on 51 minutes, and Tete Yengi added a fourth with another Nakayama assist on 65, before Daihachi Okamura completed the rout on 80.
