KUALA LUMPUR: The debate over whether Jorge Obregon was offside when he scored against Buriram United on Tuesday may rage on but it does not change the reality that Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) have bowed out of the Asian Champions League Elite.
The second-leg clash at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Iskandar Puteri was expected to give JDT the upper hand, especially after the first leg in Buriram on March 4 ended in a goalless draw.
