Iskandar Puteri: Marcos Guilherme hit the only goal of the game as Johor Darul Ta’zim booked their place in the last 16 of the AFC Champions League Elite 2025/26™ on Tuesday with a 1-0 win over J1 League outfit Vissel Kobe at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium.

The Brazilian netted with 17 minutes remaining to earn Xisco Munez’s side a win against a Kobe side that has already qualified for the next phase and the result moves the Malaysian club onto 11 points from their eight league matches.

The result means JDT, who also featured in the Round of 16 last season, can finish no lower than eighth in the standings ahead of Wednesday’s remaining games in the East Zone's League Stage.

Guilherme gave the visitors a third minute lead when he pounced on a defensive error but Jonathan Silva’s sending off swung proceedings in Sanfrecce’s favour and Suzuki’s double in the 18th and 47th minutes confirmed his side’s progress to the next round.

 

Hiroshima move onto 14 points from seven matches and cannot finish outside the top eight of the eastern league phase standings with one round remaining. JDT, meanwhile, stay on eight points ahead of next week’s meeting with Vissel Kobe.
