Nst.com.my – KUALA LUMPUR, Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) delivered another statement of domestic dominance on Saturday, dismantling Star City 7-0 in a one-sided Super League encounter at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium.

Brazilian striker Bergson da Silva stole the show with a hat-trick as Xisco Munoz’s men overwhelmed the visitors from the opening whistle to underline their status as the league’s dominant force.

Bergson opened the floodgates in the 17th minute before Marcos Guilherme doubled the advantage in the 31st minute.

Bergson struck again six minutes later to make it 3-0 before Kevin David Medina added a fourth in the 42nd minute.

The rout was effectively sealed before the interval when Iranian forward Shahab Zahedi struck deep into stoppage time to send JDT into the break five goals ahead.

Right-back Carlos Akapo added a sixth in the 68th minute before Bergson completed his hat-trick nine minutes later to seal a comprehensive victory and claim the match ball.

The win leaves the Southern Tigers with nine points from three games. They have scored 19 goals and conceded none.
