KUCHING, April 16 (Bernama) -- Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) once again closed their Super League campaign with an unbeaten record for the third consecutive season after defeating Kuching City FC 2-0 at the State Stadium in Kuching, here tonight.
JDT's goal machine, Bergson Da Silva didn't wait long to open accounts albeit from the penalty spot as early as the fifth minute after Arif Aiman Mohd Hanapi was brought down inside the penalty box.
The visitors once again showed their fangs when Colombian-born player Romel Morales managed to score JDT's second goal in the 26th minute.
JDT continued their onslaught in the second half while Kuching City FC too had set up dangerous attacks but both teams failed to score goals.
Today's victory saw JDT, who are the league champions this season, end the Super League competition with 70 points and with an unbeaten record after 24 matches while Kuching City FC are in fourth place with 36 points.
The last time JDT, also known as Southern Tigers, lost in a Super League match was back in the 2021 season when they lost 0-1 to Terengganu FC.
Kuching City FC, who have one more Super League match remaining this season, will meet Negeri Sembilan FC on April 20.
