Substitute Akhyar Rashid was the hero for Malaysia’s very own Johor Darul Ta’zim as his late goal helped the Southern Tigers to a stunning 2-1 win over South Korean giants Ulsan Hyundai in Tuesday’s AFC Champions League match at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium.<\/strong><\/p>\n

JDT thoroughly deserved their win, having posed a greater threat throughout the first half. Bergson narrowly missed a header in the fourth minute, and Fernando Forestieri hit the post with a powerful right-footed shot six minutes later, leaving Ulsan goalie\u00a0 Jo Hyeon-woo well beaten.<\/p>\n

Forestieri continued to trouble Ulsan, narrowly missing a 25-yard free kick in the 29th minute. Heberty’s attempt from outside the area was deflected just wide. JDT came even closer to scoring five minutes before halftime when Bergson’s first-time, curling left-footed shot hit the crossbar after Heberty set him up on the break.<\/p>\n

The Malaysians struck the woodwork again four minutes later. This time, Heberty’s shot found the back of the net after he controlled Afiq Faizal’s pass with his chest and unleashed a left-footed strike from a distance.<\/p>\n

In the second half, Heberty’s fierce free-kick hit the post, and captain Jordi Amat couldn’t redirect the rebound on target. JDT’s missed opportunities came back to haunt them 21 minutes before full-time, when Valeri Qazaishvili managed to distract three defenders before delivering a perfect pass to Ataru Esaka, with the former Omiya Ardija and Kawasaki Frontale man calmly slotting the ball home past JDT goalkeeper Syihan Hazmi.<\/p>\n

Arif Aiman’s attempt was saved at the other end, and Lee Myung-jae’s shot went wide for newly-crowned K League 1 champions Ulsan as both teams sought a winner. Ultimately, JDT emerged victorious, with Syihan making a crucial save from Ulsan substitute Martin Adam, before the former Negeri Sembilan FC custodian initiated a swift counterattack that led to Akhyar scoring past Hyeon-woo, sending the Sultan Ibrahim crowd into a frenzy and keeping JDT’s hopes alive for a spot in the last 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
