PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta’zim coach Xisco Munoz hailed his players for how they embraced the weight of wearing the Southern Tigers’ badge in their commanding 3-0 win over Selangor in the Charity Shield on Friday.

“I’m happy with the boys. It’s not easy to deal with the idea of JDT and the pressure behind it,” said Munoz.
