Thai side Buriram frustrate JDT again
KUALA LUMPUR: Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) let Buriram United off the hook as their wait for a first win over the Thai side continued after a 1-1 draw in the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium on Tuesday.
KUALA LUMPUR — Johor Darul Ta zim (JDT) were unable to secure their first victory over Thai side Buriram United in the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium on Tuesday. Thailand's Buriram United took the lead in the 26th minute through Oscar Arribas, but Stefan Schimmer equalized just before halftime. JDT appeared to have gained an edge in the 57th minute when Buriram captain Kenneth Dougall received a second yellow card for a foul on Nacho Mendez, leading to his dismissal.
However, JDT could not capitalize on their numerical advantage as Arif Aiman Hanapi was challenged by Eduardo Mancha inside the penalty area, presenting JDT with a penalty kick opportunity that was saved by Buriram's goalkeeper Neil Etheridge. JDT's frustration escalated in added time when they were further reduced to 10 men after Eddy Israfilov was shown a straight red card for a studs-up challenge on Uros Radakovic.
This result marked JDT's fifth meeting without a win against Buriram, who had won their previous two encounters and had also ended the other two meetings in draws.
