KUALA LUMPUR – Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) have cemented themselves as the country’s best football club as they win against Selangor FC 2-1 to be crowned the 2022 Malaysia Cup champions.
The win here at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in front of 79,988 fans meant that JDT have successfully won the Super League, FA Cup, Sumbangsih Cup, and now the Malaysia Cup in one year.
Selangor, who were chasing their 34th Malaysia Cup title, broke the deadlock first in today’s match when Herlison Caion De Souza Ferreira put the ball past JDT’s keeper Mohd Farizal Marlias from a penalty kick minutes before the end of the first-half.
But the Southern Tigers were quick to respond. Bergson Da Silva headed the ball into the back of the net from a corner-kick in additional time before the first-half whistle, to the joy of JDT supporters that have travelled up north to see their team play.
In the 58th minute, Fernando Forestieri doubled the score for JDT and gave them the lead after a save by Selangor goalkeeper Mohd Khairulazhan Mohd Khalid placed the ball right in Forestieri’s path, and the Argentinian curled the ball into the top corner. – The Vibes, November 26, 2022
