JDT down Kedah despite playing with 10 men

The Southern Tigers, who sealed their ninth consecutive title last weekend, saw top goal scorer Bergson Da Silva red-carded in the 45th minute after scoring the equaliser nine minutes before he was sent off. The Brazilian took a swipe at Kedah defender Rodney Celvin Akwensivie’s head during a 50-50 challenge.

“First of all, we’ve to praise the commitment, determination and passion showed by our boys to win the game,” said the Venezuelan. “Not sure the penalty changed the game but from the time we played 10 versus 11, we played like we wanted to win the game. On the field, it is evident that JDT wanted to win the game.”“Bergson is a player that plays big games for us. But it happens. We have to check and review what he did.

Da Silva did apologise for his action on social media by saying, “Sorry for my big mistake. Thanks for the win! And what a team.”“Without the penalty, things would have been different. I wanted to soak in the pressure for 65 minutes and then play an attacking game. Then the penalty came, and we lost momentum. It demoralised the players. The third goal, it was conceded too easily,” said the Singaporean.
