Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) are not just chasing a ninth consecutive Sultan Ahmad Shah Cup when they face Kuching City in the Charity Shield clash that also marks the opening of the Super League season at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Iskandar Puteri on Friday.
There is a bigger mission at stake for Xisco Munoz's side — to set a new world record for the longest unbeaten run in the league, surpassing the mark held by Ivorian club ASEC Mimosas, who recorded 108 consecutive victories from 1989 to 1994.
JDT equalled ASEC Mimosas' record of 108 victories after thrashing Kelantan The Real Warriors 14-1 in a league match on May 10.
Now, just one more victory will see JDT surpass the Ivorian club's mark and put the 12-time consecutive league champions into the global record books.
