"From day one, I've been warmly welcomed by everyone here. Playing in front of more than 60,000 fans at the stadium was an incredible experience. Bukit Jalil will always be in my memory. We've only been together for two weeks, but I believe we'll grow stronger from here. This is only the first step," added Figueiredo, who helped Malaysia end a 11-year winless run against Vietnam.

Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) have signed another Harimau Malaya heritage star with the arrival of Brazilian-born forward Joao Figueiredo ahead of the new season. Figueiredo joins JDT from Turkish Super League side Istanbul Basaksehir, where he netted seven goals and chipped in with two assists last season. He also made his mark in the Turkish Cup, scoring three goals in as many appearances.
"Figueiredo brings his commitment and determination to JDT," read the caption on the Southern Tigers' official Instagram post announcing the signing on Sunday.
