Home defeat second-placed Albirex


While the fight for top may  well be over as the Champions, Tampines Rovers, continue to romp away, second place is up for grab as Albirex Niigata (S) went down 0-1 to Home United in the LIVE televised match.

Lee Kwan Woo, considered Home best player thus far, gave the Protectors the lead from a free-kick and the two-time champions shut up shop after that to gave them third points to maintain their hold of the top 4 position.

Tanjong Pagar United failed to close up on Albirex as they showcased their inconsistent form again when they lost to Harimau Muda 0-3.

Ridzuan Abdunloh, with a brace, and Maxsius Musa got the Malaysian goals in their win

Home United, with the win, are a further one point behind the Jaguars and a further 3 behind Albirex..

In other games, Hougaang United defeated DPMM Brunei 2-1 and Balestier Khalsa drew 2-2 Geylang International.

Goals from Azhar Sairudin and Thomas Beattie gave the Cheetahs all 3 points with Shahrulrizal Abd Rahman scoring for the Brunei side.

In the Eagles-Tigers match-up, goals from Paul Cunningham and Kim Minho had given Balestier a 2-0 lead at half-time but Geylang fought back in the second period to level it up with goals from Wahyudi Wahid and Jozef Kaplan.
