Mora not planning to just defend one goal lead in the second leg

Benjamin Mora admits that the formation against Ceres left JDT slightly exposed but it was a necessary risk to take

It wasn't the result that Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) would have wanted before the match had kicked-off. However, there's no need to press the panic button just yet as JDT will still be taking a 3-2 lead, going into the second leg at Philippines against Ceres-Negros FC in the AFC Cup ASEAN zone semi-final.

Benjamin Mora's boys were pushed hard throughout the 90 minutes on Wednesday night at Tan Sri Hj. Hassan Yunos Stadium, a game worthy of being used to highlight the high quality of football that the AFC Cup can offer.
