Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) extended their winning start in the Super League by defeating Terengganu 3-0 in Gong Badak. The leaders have 18 points after six matches, while ninth-placed Terengganu have five points after five games.

Bergson da Silva put JDT ahead in the 26th minute at Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium. Oscar Arribas then made it 2-0 with three minutes remaining before the break, and Shahab Zahedi supplied JDT's third goal.

Terengganu failed to convert a penalty awarded in the 64th minute. Referee Razlan Joffri Ali penalised Kevin David Medina for bringing down Gervane Kastaneer in the box, but Mateus Gustavo's attempt did not produce a goal.

Elsewhere, Brunei DPMM FC fought back against Kuching City at Bandar Seri Begawan's Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium to win 3-2. Dalberto Luan Belo scored the opener in the sixth minute from a ball delivered by Farris Izdiham Awang Kechik.

Dylan Wenzel-Halls brought Kuching City level in the 28th minute, then gave them a 2-1 advantage five minutes into the second half. Petrus Shitembi was dismissed in the 62nd minute for a second yellow card, following a booking for unsporting conduct in the 53rd minute.

Azwan Ali Rahman made it 2-2 in the 64th minute. Dalberto added his second goal three minutes later to complete DPMM's comeback.
