The win also sealed a historic fourth consecutive domestic quadruple — an unprecedented achievement in Liga Malaysia.

It capped a flawless season for the Southern Tigers, who had earlier lifted the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Cup and FA Cup, while extending their dominance in the Super League with a 12th straight title.

JDT also continued their world-record undefeated league streak, going 108 league matches without defeat.

Kuching City, making a historic appearance in their first-ever Malaysia Cup final, held JDT scoreless for more than 80 minutes before the champions finally broke through.

Goals in the closing stages from Marcos Guilherme (80th minute) and Arif Aiman Hanapi (90+1st) sealed the victory.
