JOHOR BAHRU (9 August 2026) – Malaysian champions Johor Darul Ta’zim held English Premier League side Chelsea FC to an exhilarating 3-3 draw in a friendly tonight at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium.
Arif Aiman had given the Southern Tigers the lead after 14 minutes before Liam Delap’s 42nd-minute penalty put both teams back on level at the break.
A second Delap penalty in the 62nd minute then put Chelsea 2-1 in front.
Two further goals from Oscar Arribas in the 65th minute and Bergson (84th minute) put JDT back on 3-2 advantage until an own goal from Antonio Cristian right at the end saw both teams sharing the spoils.
