PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) were not expecting a cruise against Singapore’s Lion City Sailors in their Asean Club Championship Shopee Cup opener on Thursday but it turned out to be pretty smooth sailing for the Southern Tigers.
And for Brazilian-born striker Joao Figueiredo, who fired a brace in the opening 16 minutes of the impressive 3-1 win at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium, the display sent out a clear message – that JDT are out to dominate the competition.
