With an unassailable lead of 11 points over their nearest challengers Kedah, JDT's finest moment was also witnessed by the club's owner Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim.
In the match, JDT opened scoring through Natxo Insa in the 38th minute before Selangor fought back with two goals by Mohd Amri Yahyah in the 59th minute and substitute Andik Vermansah in the 77th minute.

The visitors went ahead via Ifedayo Olusegun Patrick Omosuyi in the 24th minute while Alessandro Padovani Celin equalised for Kelantan one minute later.
