Going into their debut season in the 2019 AFC Champions League, many thought that Johor Darul Ta'zim will find the step up hard but in every single one of the three matches they have played thus far, JDT have more than shown that they do belong at this level.
Similar 2-1 narrow defeats on the road to Japan's Kashima Antlers and China's Shandong Luneng sandwiched a dominant home performance in the 1-1 draw against South Korea's Gyeongnam FC proved that JDT have what it takes to not only offer resistance to these teams but also to put them on the back foot.
