JDT took a gigantic step towards retaining their Super League title with a comfortable 2-0 win over Negeri Sembilan at Tan Sri Dato Haji Hassan Yunos Stadium on Wednesday night. After their closest challengers all dropping points 24 hours before the match kicked off under teeming rain in Johor Bahru, JDT knew that they had to win to fully capitalise on it - which they duly did. Negeri were second best from start to finish and with new head coach Mario Lemos only able to watch from the stands, the Portuguese could see fully that his team are in trouble in more ways than one....

It doesn’t have the same ring as “Dez caught it,” but the same rule applies. Chiefs receiver Jeremy Maclin was upset when his “catch” Sunday was determined not to be a catch.
