  "summary": "Johor Darul Ta zim (JDT) coach Xisco Munoz has urged his team to display their clinical edge in their upcoming Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) clash against Pohang Steelers, after both sides entered the match seeking a turnaround following disappointing openers. Munoz highlighted the importance of sharp finishing in the final third, citing JDT's 5-2 victory over Pohang in their last meeting at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium last season. The Spanish coach also confirmed that defensive midfielder Eddy Israfilov will miss the match due to a two-game suspension, but expressed confidence in his squad's ability to contain Pohang's forward line and secure a positive result.",
