Gamba Osaka 3-0 JDT: Champions League remains a bridge too far for the Tigers

AFC Champions League remains elusive to JDT as well as Malaysian football fans, after the Tigers lost 3-0 to Gamba Osaka in the second qualifier.

The AFC Champions League remains a bridge too far for Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT), after they were beaten 3-0 by Japan's Gamba Osaka in the second qualifying match on Tuesday evening, at the Suita City Football Stadium, Japan.

The homeside's head coach Kenta Hasegawa fielded both their Brazilian foreign players Ademilson and Fábio, as well as their South Korean defender Oh Jae-suk.

The Malaysian side meanwhile had only three foreigners to field in the match, as Jerónimo Barrales had been sent off in their first qualifying round last week, against Bangkok United.
