Selangor's Hopes Drowned by JDT's Tsunami
It was a night of utter heartbreak for Selangor fans as the Red Giants were completely swept aside by the Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) juggernaut, losing 3-0 in a match that felt over before it even began.
From the opening whistle, JDT were relentless, pressing high and suffocating Selangor's midfield. They were a tidal wave, and Selangor were a tiny boat caught in its path. It took JDT just 15 minutes to open the scoring, with their star striker Bergson finding the back of the net with a powerful header.
Selangor fought back, trying to get a foothold in the match. They were determined to keep their heads above water, but JDT's dominance was suffocating. The second goal came in the 35th minute, again from Bergson, who was simply unstoppable. He was like a shark in a tank, and Selangor's defense had no answer.
The game was a complete rout, a one-sided affair. It felt like JDT were scoring at will. The third goal came in the 58th minute, again from Bergson, who completed his hat-trick with a sublime finish. He'd already sunk Selangor's hopes, and they were now struggling to stay afloat.
This was a brutal performance from JDT. They dominated possession, created countless chances, and were clinical in front of goal. Selangor, on the other hand, were completely outclassed. They were a shadow of their former selves, a far cry from the team that challenged for the title last season.
The Red Giants need to regroup, to find their fight again. This loss was a reality check, a harsh reminder of the gap between them and the top teams in the league. They've got a lot of work to do if they want to challenge for silverware again.
This was a night for JDT to celebrate. But for Selangor, it was a night of despair. Their hopes of winning the title are now hanging by a thread.
