JDT Coach Wants Better Balance And Intensity From Team Despite Big Win
ISKANDAR PUTERI, Aug 17 (Bernama) -- Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) head coach Xisco Munoz admitted that his team only found their rhythm after scoring the opening goal in their 5-0 victory over UM-Damansara FC in the FA Cup first-round at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium last night. He said the early stages were difficult as the players struggled to control the tempo, but the breakthrough changed the momentum of the game. 'The first goal was very important for us. Before that, we couldn't find the rhythm we wanted, but after scoring, the team played with more confidence and intensity. From there, we pressed harder and created more opportunities. bootstrap slideshow "It is never easy to score the first goal, but once we did, the game became more open and we had more chances,' he told reporters after the match. Asked whether he was satisfied with the team's overall performance after three competitive matches this season, the coach stressed that improvements were still necessary, particularly in home games. 'Of course not. One of the most important things is that at home we must perform better. The players are still adapting, especially the new ones, to the intensity here. Step by step we need to find the right balance. At the moment, we are creating many chances, including penalties, but in attack we must use our capacity more effectively,' he explained. A1 League side UM Damansara FC took a heavy blow in the 38th minute when captain Hariz Mansor was sent off after receiving his second yellow card. The breakthrough came just before half-time, with JDT's Argentine left back Jonathan Silva finding the net in the 44th minute and went on to add his second of the night with a header ten minutes into the second half, putting the Southern Tigers firmly in control. Meanwhile, UM- Damansara FC Coach Ridzuan Abu Shah said was satisfied with his team's performance despite losing 5-0 to JDT.

From gruelling climbs that drain the legs to technical descents demanding total focus, every kilometre pushes even the most seasoned athletes to their limits. bootstrap slideshow 'Be prepared, be very prepared.' More than a warning, CULTRA's tagline is a pledge, one that attracts runners to return year after year to face the highlands' ultimate test. First held in 2016 by local organiser Bolt Events Management (BOLT) in collaboration with SUKADEI Running Club, the race has flourished to become Malaysia's premier ultra-trail event, renowned for a course that blends beauty with wildness. The 9th edition of CULTRA drew 2,500 participants from 39 countries this year, consisting of five categories: 100 kilometres (km), 60km, 30km, 14km, and 4km, challenging not only seasoned ultra-athletes but also welcoming newcomers alike. It also marked a new chapter, as Asics came on board as title sponsor, officially branding the event 'CULTRA 2025 Presented by Asics'. In the flagship 100km, 26-year-old Icelandic-born Kristjan Chapman overcame rough climbs, unpredictable terrain, and stifling humidity to win CULTRA 2025, his first ultra-trail in Asia, in an impressive 13:14:54, shattering the course record by 1:06:53 despite battling late-race cramps from dehydration. 'This win means everything to me. I've always wanted to win a 100KM race, and to do it on my third attempt in a country I now call home makes it even more special. I'm just so happy with the result,' said Kristjan, who juggles between coaching and running in Kuala Lumpur.
