JDT ace Safiq Rahim tops AFC Cup scoring chart

Kuala Lumpur: Defending champions Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) have created plenty of headlines thanks to their 100% start to the defence of their AFC Cup title, with captain Safiq Rahim more than playing his part thanks to an impressive six goals in three games.

Safiq, who sits proudly atop the AFC Cup Group Stage goalscoring chart, netted three goals as JDT opened their campaign with an 8-1 home thrashing of Myanmar’s Ayeyawady United in February, before increasing his tally to four as they beat Indian side JSW Bengaluru FC 1-0 and adding two more in a 3-0 win over Laotian champions Lao Toyota FC.
