GEORGE TOWN: An under-strength Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) side had to come from behind to trounce Lao Toyota 4-1 and book their spot in the AFC Cup round of 16.

Needing just a single point from their Group H match at the National Stadium in Vientiane on Wednesday to qualify for the knockout stage, the title-holders were stunned by a Phatthana Syvilay freekick three minutes before halftime.
