Port FC still pointless in AFC Champions League Elite after defeat

Port FC remain without a point after three matches in the AFC Champions League Elite, having lost 3-0 away to Johor Darul Ta'zim on Tuesday.

Jonathan Silva put the hosts ahead early in the second half, before Bergson doubled the advantage soon afterwards. Stoykov then completed the scoring late on to seal the league-phase win at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium.

Port FC, who represent the Thai League in the competition, held firm through the first half. They could not, however, contain the hosts' aggressive attacking play after the interval.

The defeat extends a losing run that has left Port FC with nothing to show from their continental campaign so far. It came in sharp contrast to their domestic form, where they had arrived in good shape.
