JDT TAMED KEDAH IN MALAYSIA CUP FINAL

Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) completed their M-League double after defeating Kedah 3-0 in the Malaysia Cup final. The Super League champions did not face much problems to tame the Red Eagles at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil on Saturday.
JDT opened the scoring in the 27th minute through Leandro Velazquez. Eight minutes later, Safawi Rasid doubled the lead for the Southern Tigers. Kedah struggled to stop their opponent as they were without centreback Renan Alves and rightback Rizal Ghazali due to suspension.


Syafiq Ahmad added the third for JDT after the break to sealed their victory. It is only their second Malaysia Cup title, after winning it in 2017. JDT had also won the Charity Shield early in the season, before winning the Super League in June.
