Champions drop points



Tampines Rovers dropped points for the first time this season as they were held to a 1-1 draw with last season runner-up DPMM Brunei.

But it could have been much worse as the Brunei side took the lead in the first half through Joao Moreira and held up almost to the end.

But in the final minute of regulation time, Khairul Amri, who came off the bench, latched onto a flick-on header by Aleksandar Duric and drilled the ball into the bottom corner to salvage a share of the spoils for his side.

While the champions dropped for the first time they still extended their lead at the top to two points with a game in hand.

In other matches, Courts Young Lions lost both their matches in played over 5 days losing first to Harimau Muda 2-1 and then was crushed by Tanjong Pagar 4-0 while in another match in between the Protectors and Warriors drew their first Derby this season 1-1.
