Malaysian powerhouse Johor Darlle Takjim was eliminated in the round of 16 of the "Acham."
Johor lost 0-1 in the second leg of the round of 16 of the 2024-2025 Asian Champions League (ACLE) against Buriram United (Thailand) at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Johor, Malaysia, on the 11th (local time), dedicating the first goal to "Thai national team" Supanath Mueanta in the 13th minute of the second half.
Johor, who drew 0-0 without scoring in an away match in Buriram on the 4th, lost 0-1 in total score. Johor, a gusty team that took a surprise third place in the East Division of the ACLE group stage, failed to advance to the quarterfinals, which he targeted. Some home fans who were dissatisfied with the decision after the game threw water bottles into the stadium.
Johor has caused pain to the K-League in ACLE this season. He lost 1-3 in away matches against Gwangju in the third group match, but won 3-0 against Ulsan in the fourth group match and defeated Pohang 5-2 in the eighth group match. Due to the loss, Pohang failed to advance to the tournament.
Apart from the results of the game, some Johor fans' actions before the game were under fire. Johor fans were sabotaging by shooting large firecrackers around the Pohang team's lodging throughout the early morning of the game.
According to Pohang club officials, Johor suddenly started setting off fireworks at a vacant lot in front of an accommodation in Johor, Malaysia, where the Pohang team is staying, around 11 p.m. local time on the 17th. It was a series of business fireworks that were common at amusement parks. The untimely fireworks, which were expected to end only once or twice, continued until late at dawn.
Five vehicles drove around the accommodation and fired fireworks from place to place every 15 minutes. A Pohang employee ran out of the accommodation and checked with both eyes, and the crowd of fans moved in groups of three. One drove, one lit a fire, and one threw a firecracker. Inside the team, the reactions were "It was like watching a firework festival in Yeouido" and "It was not a chaos."
Pohang, which was in an embarrassing situation, reported to the police through the front desk of the hotel, and local police were dispatched. However, the police only talked with the fans who believed to be the culprit and did not actively restrain them. A Pohang official explained that fireworks have been set off even after the police left the scene.
Some players, including Pohang coach Park Tae-ha, were reportedly unable to sleep until late at night due to the roaring sound outside their lodging facility. "Our staff did not ask locals if such a thing happened in the past," a Pohang official said at the time. "I don't understand why we did this when we arrived. We will have conversations with the stadium supervisor," he said.
After the game, Park said, "I want to talk about what happened yesterday night. Firecrackers exploded overnight near our team's lodging, making it difficult for many players to take a rest. It can't be an excuse for today's result, but anything that hasn't been fair outside the stadium shouldn't happen."
Johor, who was not disciplined by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), failed to pass Buriram, the first Thai team, to be eliminated. For Buriram, Korean defenseman Goh Myung-seok and Kim Min-hyuk played as starters and replacements, respectively, supporting their team's scoreless victory. Buriram has advanced to the quarterfinals of the Asian Club Grand Prix for the first time in 12 years since 2013. The team will have a showdown with the winner of the second round match between Gwangju and Vissel Kobe that will take place at the Gwangju World Cup Stadium on Tuesday next week. Gwangju, the only team that advanced to the round of 16, needs to win by more than three goals in order to advance to the quarterfinals after losing 0-2 in the first round away match. 토토사이트
