PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) skipper Mohd Safiq Rahim reckons his side were worthy winners after they successfully retained their Super League crown.

The Southern Tigers were beaten 2-1 by Felda United in their final Super League match at the Selayang Stadium on Saturday but second-placed Pahang failed to take advantage as they suffered a 3-1 loss to Terengganu.

JDT ended up winning the title with 46 points from 22 matches, just two ahead of arch-rivals Pahang to clinch the RM750,000 prize money.
