JDT go unbeaten for world record 109th league match
Johor Darul Ta'zim open their Malaysian Super League title defence with a 3-0 win over Kuching City in the Charity Shield.
Johor Darul Ta zim (JDT) have set a world record by going unbeaten for 109 consecutive league matches, securing a 3-0 victory over Kuching City FC in the Malaysian Super League Charity Shield match on Friday. Marcos Guilherme opened the scoring in the 11th minute, with Oscar Arribas and Shahab Zahedi adding goals in the second half.
This 109-match unbeaten streak surpasses the previous record of 108 matches held by Ivory Coast's ASEC Mimosas from 1989 to 1994. JDT's Spanish coach, Xisco Munoz, expressed the team's ambition to become part of football history by winning the trophy. The Southern Tigers have not lost a league match since April 2021, maintaining an unbeaten run through their last four Malaysian Super League seasons.
JDT is currently aiming for their 13th consecutive league title, having narrowly missed a perfect season in the past three years, losing only one league game each time. With this victory, JDT will seek to extend their record streak when they face Kelantan Red Warrior FC on Wednesday.
