JOHOR BARU: All is not well with Super League champions Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT).

The Southern Tigers who parted ways with head coach Mario Gomez – barely two days before the start of the new season, failed to get off their season on a victorious note after Kedah clinched the 2017 Charity Shield edging the home side 5-4 on penalties after the match ended 1-1 at the Larkin Stadium last night.
