PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) revisited their nightmare against Kawasaki Frontale in the AFC Champions League (ACL) as the Japanese club handed the Malaysian superpowers a 5-0 thrashing at the Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium yesterday.

Kawasaki had hurt JDT in Iskandar Puteri with the same scoreline in the group stage of last year’s campaign but the Southern Tigers managed to salvage a 0-0 draw away in Japan.
