The Johor Darul Ta'zim train towards another Malaysia Super League title is looking unstoppable after their latest win, a 2-0 victory of closest rivals Pahang on Tuesday night. The win increased the lead at the top from five points to eight points with only nine more rounds of matches remaining.
Pahang provided a strong fight, at least in defence where they repeatedly keep out JDT for large parts of the match. But the reigning league champions eventually found the breakthrough with half an hour left to play when captain Hariss Harun started and finished a brilliant counter attacking move.
