High five of JDT’s success

Mr Reliable: Shahrul Saad has proved to be a pillar of strength in JDT's defence.

APRIL 30 will surely be a date etched in the hearts and minds of Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) players, coaches, fans and their biggest supporter, club owner and Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim. For the first time in history, the Southern Tigers have got to the knockout stages of the AFC Champions League after topping Group I of the East zone with 13 points.

It will be a campaign to be remembered, especially their final game, where they needed a 93rd minute winner to confirm their spot in the next stage.
