JDT Continue To Dominate Season By Crushing Kelantan TRW 4-1

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 20 (Bernama) Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) once again demonstrated their prowess as defending champions by showcasing absolute dominance to thrash Kelantan The Real Warriors (TRW) FC 4-1 in their 2025/2026 Super League match at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium tonight.

The hosts opened the scoring through a powerful header by Jairo De Macedo Da Silva in the 22nd minute, following a lofted cross from Manuel Federico Hidalgo Gasparini, much to the delight of their loyal supporters.

That goal sparked a surge from the Southern Tigers, as JDT immediately increased their intensity, controlling possession and launching a series of attacks before Alberto Diaz Martin doubled the lead in the 43rd minute by tapping in a pass from Jairo Da Silva.

The second half saw JDT emerge even more aggressive, continuing to pressure the visitors’ defense. Oscar Arribas Pasero put the hosts further ahead in the 53rd minute, before Muhammad Nazmi Faiz Mansor added the fourth goal just four minutes later, effectively crushing any hopes of a Kelantan TRW comeback.

However, Kelantan TRW refused to give up easily and managed to grab a consolation goal in the 74th minute through a long-range lob by Muhammad Nor Azam Abdul Azih, which beat JDT goalkeeper Ahmad Syihan Hazmi Mohamed.

The squad under the guidance of Akmal Rizal Ahmad Rakhli nearly secured a second goal through an effort from outside the penalty box by Muhammad Syaahir Saiful Nazim in the 78th minute, but the shot went wide to the right of the goal.
