At 17:00 Beijing time on April 30, the final round of the AFC Champions League group stage Group I, Arif Ayman made a oolong kill in the 94th minute, Johor Bahru beat Ulsan Hyundai 2-1, and the team reached the AFC Champions League knockout round for the first time in the history of the team.
Originally thought that Malaysian side Johor Bahru was a fish belly team, because they just played in the AFC Champions League for the first time in the 2019 season, and that season they were double-killed by Chinese Super League team Shandong Taishan.
Johor Bahru is in the same group as Guangzhou this season, while the other two opponents are J League champion Kawasaki Striker and K League runner-up Ulsan Hyundai. In terms of overall strength, Kawasaki Striker and Ulsan Hyundai are undoubtedly the favorites in this group, and I did not expect that in the end Johor Bahru Shinsan could actually kill Ulsan Hyundai and magically reach the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League.
In the first leg, Johor Bahru defeated Ulsan Hyundai 2-1. Now, they once again beat Ulsan Hyundai by a score of 2-1, and in the end they qualified as the first in the group with 13 points in the six rounds, while the Kawasaki forward with 11 points in the six rounds was the second in the best group.
After the 94th minute of the whistle-beating Ulsan Hyundai, 42-year-old Johor Bahru coach Mora ran 50 meters to celebrate while his eyes were completely wet and a big man cried into a child.
