Japanese fans criticized the foul of Zelvia striker Oh Se-hoon while finishing.
Machida won 1-0 in the 24th round of the J-League 1 of the 2025 season at Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo, Japan on the 20th. Machida took the lead in the 18th minute of the second half with Ryuho Kikuchi's first goal and won by keeping a gap of one goal.
Oh Se-hoon also stepped on the ground. Oh Se-hoon was replaced by Fujio Shota in the 31st minute of the second half. However, his performance was disappointing. He didn't stand out much except for one shot and one key pass while playing for a short time.
However, after the game, Oh Se-hoon's foul play drew attention and received great criticism. During the game, Oh Se-hoon competed with opposing defense Hiroto Taniguchi in the opponent's penalty box. In this situation, Oh Se-hoon raised his knee high regardless of the ball and hit Taniguchi. Taniguchi immediately fell to the ground, and Oh Se-hoon immediately left the box without any special action.
When the scene was reported through SNS, a lot of criticism poured out. Japanese fans should be suspended for being disciplined after death', 'We need to send him to the MMA stage', He responded negatively, saying, `That kind of behavior in a place that is not related to the ball is not soccer' and 'What the hell did VAR do?'
At that time, the referee did not give any cards and did not seem to judge the scene as a foul. In addition, VAR also had no special follow-up action for the match between Oh Se-hoon and Taniguchi. Some fans pointed out that he was not like this when he was in Shimizu, but he changed in Machida.

However, Korean players did not only benefit from the decision in the J-League. In the past, Na Sang-ho, a member of Machida, was absent for a while after suffering a ligament injury due to an opponent's violent foul during a match at the 104th JFA Grand Prix. At the time, Machida protested, but referee chairman Kenji Ogitani said "I'm sorry that the players were seriously injured" but there was no action on the special decision.
Meanwhile, Oh Se-hoon showed sluggish performance at Machida this season and was pushed out of the main competition. Oh Se-hoon, who scored eight goals in 33 games last season, scored only one goal in 21 games this season. Ahead of the East Asian Cup, more time was spent sitting on the bench, and in this Verdi match, he played only a short time as a substitute.
