Johor Darul Ta'zim FC 6-1 DPMM FC: JDT Cruise Into FA Cup Next Round

Johor Darul Ta'zim FC produced a ruthless 6-1 victory over DPMM FC in the Malaysian FA Cup on 8 November 2026, with a blistering first-half display setting up a one-sided knockout win at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium. JDT’s pressing, width and clinical finishing proved too much for DPMM, who were overwhelmed before the interval.

The result confirms Johor Darul Ta'zim’s status as one of the teams to beat in the Malaysian FA Cup and sends them into the next round with confidence. DPMM FC, meanwhile, will take little from the scoreline beyond a late consolation goal and a reminder of the gap between the sides on the night.

Match Overview

JDT started at high tempo and forced DPMM into repeated defensive errors. The opener arrived in the 9th minute when Arif Aiman cut inside from the right and finished into the bottom corner. The home side doubled their lead in the 21st minute through Bergson, who converted from close range after a flowing move.

Arif Aiman added his second in the 38th minute, finishing a quick counter-attack, and Juan Muñiz made it 4-0 in first-half stoppage time with a precise free-kick. DPMM’s best spell came early in the second half, and they pulled one back in the 61st minute through a well-taken effort from outside the box.

Any hope of a comeback was quickly extinguished. Bergson scored his second in the 68th minute, and substitute Syafiq Ahmad completed the scoring in the 84th minute after another incisive JDT attack.

Tactical Story

JDT’s dominance came from their aggressive pressing and quick ball circulation. DPMM struggled to play out from the back, and every loose pass was punished. JDT’s wide players stretched the defence, creating space for midfield runners and allowing the forwards to attack crosses and cut-backs.

DPMM improved after the break and scored a goal that rewarded their persistence, but they could not cope with JDT’s intensity over 90 minutes. Johor Darul Ta'zim’s bench also made an impact, with fresh legs adding to the scoreline late on.

Cup Impact

This Malaysian FA Cup result sends Johor Darul Ta'zim FC into the next round with momentum and a statement performance. The six-goal display will boost confidence across the squad and underline their attacking depth. For DPMM FC, the focus now shifts to regrouping after a heavy cup defeat, while JDT can look ahead to the next stage of the competition with real belief.
