History makers JDT down reigning ACL champions

It was a night to remember at Tan Sri Dato Haji Hassan Yunos Stadium on May 8 2019 as JDT etched another milestone in the history of Malaysian football by becoming the first ever Malaysian team to win in the AFC Champions League group stage.

To do it in front of their home fans against a team of the pedigree of Japanese club side Kashima Antlers who are also the reigning champions of the competition after they triumph last season, only serves to add to the incredible journey that The Southern Tigers have taken in Asia's elite club competition.
