Sanfrecce coach Gaul tells his boys to expect a different Southern Tigers


PETALING JAYA: Sanfrecce Hiroshima coach Bartosch Gaul has cautioned his players that Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) will pose a different challenge when the two sides meet in the AFC Champions League (ACL) Elite last-16 first leg tonight.

The Japanese club edged the Southern Tigers 2-1 during the group stage at the Edion Peace Wing Stadium in Hiroshima last month. However, the contest shifted dramatically after JDT were reduced to 10 men following Jonathan Silva’s red card in the 16th minute.
