PETALING JAYA: Coach Benjamin Mora admits that the path to a second successive Malaysia Cup win will be a thorny one for Johor Darul Ta’zim.

The Mexican coach acknowledged this fact after the 2019 Malaysia Cup champions were made to huff and puff for their 1-0 win against Petaling Jaya City at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Iskandar Puteri on Thursday.
