In what was a historic night for JDT as they played their maiden AFC Champions League game at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium, Cabrera opened the scoring from the spot in the 13th minute to the delight of the more than 25,000 in attendance.

The Korean side levelled after the interval through Terry Antonis but the hosts would not be denied a famous victory as Brazilian Mauricio headed home the winner with 17 minutes to play to ensure JDT picked up their first points of the campaign.

Brazilian defender Mauricio headed home the winner 17 minutes from time for the Southern Tigers after Gonzalo Cabrera had seen his first-half penalty cancelled out by Terry Antonis’ equaliser for the club from Korea Republic.

The win means JDT move into second place in Group G, three points behind leaders Vissel Kobe from Japan, who won their opening games against Suwon and JDT last month, and Mora is looking for improvements from his players despite picking up the victory.

The Brazilian’s header 17 minutes from time secured all three points for JDT in the Group G meeting after Gonzalo Cabrera had seen his first-half penalty for the home side cancelled out by Terry Antonis’ long range strike six minutes into the second half.

Le Fondre has since achieved considerable success in Australia, where he won the A-League Grand Final last year, while he also currently leads the scoring charts in the 2019-20 season.
