Port FC Remains Winless in AFC Champions League Elite After Defeat in Malaysia
Thai club Port FC suffered a 3-0 loss against Johor Darul Ta'zim in their third AFC Champions League Elite match, leaving them without points in the tournament.
On October 27, 2026, Thai League representative Port FC faced a difficult away match against Malaysia's Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium. Despite a resilient defensive effort that kept the score level throughout the first half, the Thai side ultimately succumbed to the host's aggressive offensive pressure.
The breakthrough for JDT came in the 53rd minute through a goal by Jonathan Silva. The home side extended their lead in the 62nd minute with a strike from Bergson, before Stojkov sealed the 3-0 victory in the 86th minute. This result marks Port FC's third consecutive defeat in the league phase of the AFC Champions League Elite, leaving the club without any points in the competition thus far.
For residents and football enthusiasts in Thailand, this result highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Thai clubs on the continental stage. While the match was a sporting event, those traveling to Johor Bahru for future fixtures should note that high-profile matches at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium often draw significant local crowds, which may impact local traffic and transport logistics in the area. It remains to be confirmed how Port FC will adjust their tactical approach for their upcoming matches to secure their first points in the tournament.
