MALAYSIA CUP: JDT 4 - KELANTAN 2 Johor Darul Takzim took the advantage in the first leg of the Malaysia Cup quarter final by winning 4-2 over Kelantan at Tan Sri Dato' Haji Hassan Yunos Stadium in Johor Bahru yesterday. The win is very important for the star studded JDT before they play their second leg in Kota Bharu next Saturday. Kelantan arrived in Johor Bahru fresh from their 4-0 win over Pahang last week. However, they failed to deliver the good performances as in their previous match Kota Bharu. JDT didn't take too long to open the scoring when Jazsarin Jamaluddin found the net just four minutes after the whistle. As Kelantan was trying to get their game tempo right, controversial striker Nor Shahrul Idlan Talaha added JDT's second of the night in the 20th minute. Indra Putra Mahayuddin pulled a goal back for the visitors in the 23rd minute. But his goal couldn't lift his team as JDT found the net again in the 38th minute through Safiq Rahim . J

WOMEN'S ASIA CUP HOCKEY: JAPAN 2 - KOREA 1 Shihu Otsuka 's second half goal proved to be the difference as Japan claimed a stunning 2-1 win over Korea in the final of the 8th Women's Asia Cup in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The final score means that Japan have both regained the trophy that they last won in 2007 and sealed their place at next year's Rabobank Hockey World Cup in The Hague, Netherlands.

However, the brilliance of their performance in Friday's final ensured that they were worthy winners.   Japan struck the first goal in the 27th minute when Aki Mitsuhashi – later named player of the match – fired in from open play. Otsuka's killer blow arrived 15 minutes from full time, with Kim Jong Eun reducing the deficit in the dying minutes of the contest.   Japan become the ninth team to be confirmed qualifiers for next summer's showpiece at

Top seed David Ferrer enjoyed a confidence boosting start to his Malaysian Open , Kuala Lumpur 2013 campaign as he cruised past Italian qualifier Matteo Viola 6-2, 6-3 in 73 minutes here at Centre Court of Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil to move into the quarterfinals. The 31-year-old Ferrer, who made the semifinals of this tournament in 2010 and 2012, started off sharp and played an aggressive baseline game against Viola, running the Italian all around the court. Viola (world No. 140), who made it into the second round courtesy of a kind first round draw against a fellow qualifier, put up a brave fight with some beautiful winners towards the end of the second set, but the 26-year-old never posed much of a challenge to the world No. 4 Spaniard. Ferrer will face the winner of tomorrow's second round match between Uruguayan Pablo Cuevas and Portugal's Joao Sousa . Photo: Chew SC / Tigers Super Sports

LEAGUE CUP: MAN UNITED 1 - LIVERPOOL 0 Javier Hernandez placed the stability back to Manchester United after a very difficult week by netting the winning goal in a Capital One Cup tie with Liverpool . Hernandez who escaped from Jose Enrique to score from a Wayne Rooney 's corner. It is the Mexican's first goal of the campaign came early in the second-half, United manager David Moyes had barely got beyond the penalty area in his walk to the home dug-out. It meant it was easy to spot the Scot's celebration, at a strike that should at least quell some of the angst that built up following that awful hammering at Manchester City four days ago. Shinji Kagawa and Nani were so alived, whilst stand-in captain Rooney buzzed around with menace. United held Liverpool at bay for what could turn out to be a very meaningful victory for their manager. Photo: Man Utd Not enough  FOOTBALL ??? Click HERE!
