JOHOR BARU:  Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) have booked their place in the AFC Cup in style – demolishing Kaya FC of the Philippines 7-2 in a round of 16 match at the Larkin Stadium.

A downpour two hours before kickoff threatened to delay the game on Wednesday, but the sky soon cleared up – giving the homesters, especially hat-trick hero Juan Lucero, a perfect sight of the visitor’s goal.
