Ismail has strong words for Afiq and Dominic over their performances against Ceres

Ismail Ibrahim was happy that JDT got the win but the same cannot be said of his judgement over two players

Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) managed to win the first leg of the AFC Cup ASEAN zone semi-final 3-2 against Ceres-Negros FC on Wednesday night but the general mood around the stadium after the match was one of worry as the Philippines side managed to grab two very important away goals.

Despite leading 1-0 at the start of the match, the first half ended 2-2 as Ceres showed that they aren't a side to be discounted. Playing on the break, Ceres benefited from the lack of defensive numbers on JDT's side through goals from Fernando Rodriguez and Bienvenido Maradon.
