Japanese side plan quick strike against Southern Tigers


PETALING JAYA: Scoring the first goal against Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) will be crucial for Japanese Kawasaki Frontale – and the Japanese club know it only too well as they prepare for their opening Group I match of the AFC Champions League (ACL) today.

The last time the two sides faced each other in the tournament, the Azzurro-Neo (Blue Black) thrashed JDT 5-0 at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Iskandar Puteri on April 24 last year.
