Mora proud of magnificent JDT achievement

First time participants in the AFC Champions League group stage but already making the biggest splash one could do as JDT triumphed 1-0 over defending champions Kashima Antlers to become the first ever Malaysian team to do so since the competition was introduced in 2002.

Kashima had their chances throughout the match but it wasn't just a lucky win for the Malaysian champions as they more than played their part in the match. Dominating the ball possession, only poor decision making in the final third prevented JDT from scoring earlier.

Despite the win, JDT are still bottom of Group E with four points and will need a minor miracle to go through to the Round of 16 but for Benjamin Mora, what was achieved on the night will stay with them for a very long time.
