The home side was gifted with a goal when Terengganu veteran defender Rosdi Talib wrestled Nurul Azwan Roya inside the box in the 36th minute. Daniel Guiza made no mistake from the spot even though Sharmiza Yusof had gone the right way.
Darul Takzim went ahead when Guiza shot took a deflection off Vincent Bikana's boot to leave Sharmiza stranded minutes before the interval. Then Southern Tigers went further ahead when Nurul's shot took another heavy deflection before looping over Sharmiza to make it 3-1.
Owona led the line as The Turtles tried to fight back. The Cameroon striker used his physical presence to reduce the gap to just a single goal when he headed home from a corner.
Terengganu tried to force the equaliser but in the end Darul Takzim managed to hold on despite playing with ten men after Tharmimi Saiban was dismissed after he received his second yellow card for the night.
The win saw Darul Takzim climbed to third in the Super League table, equal on points with Selangor but with an inferior goal difference. The Red Giants were held to a 1-1 draw by Felda United on Friday.

However, a misjudgment by Titans goalkeeper, Iqbal Suhimi allowed Fauzi Roslan to level the score with two minutes remaining in the first half. The Titans clearly missing the influential George Boateng in the middle of the park who was suspended for the match.
Faizol Hussin then put The Elephants ahead with seven minutes to go as the home side lost their concentration. Substitute Gopinathan Ramachandra put the match beyond the reach of Peter Butler's boys with a low shot three minutes later to make it seven match without a win for The Titans.
