For this match to go into extra time was really unnecessary if both sides had shown a bit more aggressiveness in the final third during their offences.

This was the Sailors' third consecutive Cup victory that was overshadowed by Tampines' admin blunder on the field during the match.

Scorers: Hami Syahin 115', Anderson Lopes 120+2'

A jubilant Rui Pires fisted it up after scoring the Sailors' second goal

With this win, Lion City Sailors were one win away from retaining the Singapore Premier League (SPL) title. At the same time, it got me thinking: should the SPL implement a post-season playoff since we don't have a promotion and relegation system in place?

Scorers: Anderson Lopes 36', Rui Pires 46', Lennart Thy pen. 68'

A nervous moment at the Chinese backline during the match 

The issue I had with this match was the inadequate lighting during the match, so I had to use "ISO auto" settings throughout the match.
