Three red cards saw referee Fitri Maskon hog the limelight at the Larkin Stadium on Friday during Johor Darul Takzim’s Super League home match against Felda United.
Â
Fitri sacked Felda’s Zahril Azri Zabril on the hour mark for a second bookable offence for an infringement on JDT’s Ignacio Insa. A second sacking followed in the 82nd minute, this time it was Felda’s Brazilian defender Thiago Junio who grabbed an early shower for time wasting.
Â
The Southern Tigers took full advantage of the numerical advantage to score their first goal through Gonzalo Cabrera. Felda was further hit by a third sacking a minute from time when skipper Hadin Azman, a former JDT player, wa given his marching orders. Â
Â
This, however, did not stop the visitors, nicknamed “The Fighters”, from snatching the equalizer through Brazilian Jocinei Schad off a thundering freekick. The fight was on, but the added time saw JDT’s new signings Akhyar Rashid and Diogo Santo hit their marks. – BY RIZAL ABDULLAH
