Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) were beaten 2-1 by Felda United in their final Super League match at the Selayang Stadium on Saturday but second-placed Pahang failed to take advantage as they suffered a 3-1 loss to Terengganu, hence giving the Southern Tigers the league championship crown.
JDT won the title with 46 points from 22 matches, just two ahead of arch-rivals Pahang to clinch the RM750,000 prize money.
JDT will now shift their focus to the AFC Cup quarter-finals against Hong Kong’s South China at the Larkin Stadium on Tuesday.
At the bottom of the Super League table, club sides ATM and Sime Darby are bidding farewell to top flight football in the Malaysian football league after both finished at the 11th and 12th place, sending them packing to the Premier League next season.
