KUALA LUMPUR: Defending champions, Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) succeeded in retaining the Super League Cup despite recording a shock 1-2 loss to Felda United in their last league match at Selayang Stadium, near here tonight.
The victory of the Southern Tigers was in part aided by Pahang’s 1-3 loss to Terengganu in an away game.
As league champions, JDT took home a cash prize of RM750,000 and the Super League Cup which was presented by the Football Association of Johor (PBNJ) president Datuk Ismail Karim to team captain Safiq Rahim.
PBNJ Royal Patron Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim and his wife, Che Puan Khaleeda Bustamam were also present to witness the match.
The league title success also earned JDT a berth to the 2016 Asian Football Confederation Cup competition. -Bernama
