Óscar Arribas helped spark Johor Darul Ta’zim FC into life as the Malaysian champions secured a crucial 3-0 victory over Shan United FC to strengthen their push for a semi-final place. After a frustrating first hour in which Shan United FC proved difficult to break down, the Spaniard finally made the breakthrough in the 65th minute, glancing home Yago da Silva’s corner to open the scoring. Arribas remained a lively attacking presence throughout the contest and his goal provided the platform for JDT to pull away and claim an important three points.
Nguyễn Văn Vĩ (Nam Định) v Selangor FC, May 6
Nguyễn Văn Vĩ delivered an energetic display for Nam Định FC in a hard-fought semi-final first leg against Selangor FC.
