It was a night of goals galore for Johor Darul Ta'zim as they opened up a gap at the top of Group A with this 5-0 drubbing of third-place side, PKNP FC. The result meant that JDT will now only need to match PKNP's result in the remaining two rounds of matches and they will be one of the two teams from the group heading into the quarterfinals of the Malaysia Cup.
Mauricio dos Santos got the ball rolling in the 13th minute before Gonzalo Cabrera (30'), Safawi Rasid (36', 62') and Diogo Luis Santo (50') all added to the scoresheet to give three points to the home side at Tan Sri Dato Haji Hassan Yunos Stadium.
