Three minutes later, Jaoa Figueiredo made it 2-2, reviving the defending champions' spirit heading into the break. In the second half, JDT pressed on and took the lead in the 57th minute through Irazabal, who completed a pass from Hector Hevel. Before the visitors could regroup, Arif Aiman fired a powerful shot one minute later to extend the lead to 4-2. However, Negeri Sembilan refused to relent and Motika again found a touch of goal in the 60th minute, to close the gap.. JDT substitute striker Bergson put the icing on the cake in extra time with a scissor kick, etching his name in Super League history. In other matches of the night, Selangor defeated DPMM FC 3-0 while Kelantan Red Warriors drew 1-1 against Imigresen FC. — Bernama
