JDT coach Figueroa heaps praise on Safawi after brace


JOHOR BARU: Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) head coach Luciano Figueroa believes young midfielder Safawi Rasid (pic) is the best footballer in Malaysia right now.

The 21-year-old player scored two goals to help the five-time Malaysia Super League champions beat their arch-rivals Pahang 2-0 in the Malaysia Cup quarter-final second-leg match at the Larkin Stadium on Saturday to book their semi-final ticket with a 3-1 aggregate win.
