Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) retained their Malaysian Super League crown with four rounds remaining.
Goals from Nazmi Faiz Mansor and Diogo helped the Southern Tigers beat Melaka United 2-1 at the Hang Jebat Stadium on Wednesday.
The win gave them an unassailable 16-point lead over second-place Pahang, who lost 5-2 to Selangor a day earlier, and clinched them their sixth consecutive league title since 2014.
