PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta'zim rewrote the record books after hammering Kelantan 14-1 to register the biggest win in Malaysia Super League history at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Iskandar Puteri on Sunday (May 10).
Brazilian striker Bergson da Silva was unstoppable, scoring six goals in the first, 11th, 38th, 43rd, 53rd and 83rd minutes in a dominant display by the Southern Tigers.
Argentinian winger Manuel Hidalgo added a hattrick with strikes in the 16th. 25th and 62nd minutes.
The other goals came from Antonio Glauder (19th), Stuart Wilkin (39th), Yago Cesar (50th), Syamer Kutty Abba (86th) and Teto Martin (88th).
Kelantan's lone reply was scored by Farris Izdiham in the 64th minute.
Although the match was played at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium, it was officially considered an away fixture for JDT after Kelantan requested for the venue to be switched from Kota Baru due to bad weather.
The previous record for the biggest victory in the Super League was when Selangor FC defeated Kelantan 11-2 on Aug 25, 2023.
Before that, Perak FC recorded a 9-0 away triumph over Malacca on June 6, 2007.
JDT also equalled the world record for going undefeated in consecutive league matches, equalling the 108 set by Asec Mimosas of Ivory Coast.
The Southern Tigers have not lost a league match since April 2021 and have gone undefeated for four seasons.
