The record-breaking streak has seen JDT win 100 league games and draw nine since their last defeat. Their closest call to defeat was when they were 2-1 down against Sri Pahang in May 2022, but Bérgson netted in the 88th minute to salvage a point and earn a 2-2 draw. The club's dominance has been largely uneventful, with most of the run being largely uneventful.
JDT's starting XI in their record-breaking match featured only two Malaysian-born players, goalkeeper Syihan Hazmi and winger Arif Aiman. The match itself was a comfortable 3-0 win over Kuching City, with all three goals coming from star imports. The record-breaking match epitomised JDT's dominance of the domestic scene, with critics arguing that the club has simply bought their success.
However, JDT chief executive Luis García disputes this claim, stating that the club's success is due to the hard work behind the scenes. García also acknowledged the controversy surrounding the club's lack of homegrown Malaysian players, but stated that the players who were sanctioned by FIFA will be available again from either October or November.
JDT's world-record breaking unbeaten run has certainly helped the club's profile, with coach Xisco Muñoz stating that the club's dominance has brought more eyes to the team. The club's ambitious objective is to compete for the Asian Champions League Elite, with García stating that their main target is to be back in Saudi Arabia and to be in the top eight of the competition.
The club's success will likely depend heavily on the Crown Prince, Tunku Ismail Idris, who has been instrumental in the club's rise to dominance. García praised the Crown Prince's passion, mentality and ambition, stating that he inspires the team with his work ethic.
