In the 15^th min, Soon and Darren exchanged passes and the latter then saw How Meng sprinting down the left.  With a delicate and deft chip ala Glenn Hoddle, Darren sent How Meng down the left flank.  How Meng took a great touch before squaring to Wayne who was near the 6-yard box area.  Naturally, Wayne did not disappoint as his expertly-taken left-foot shot flew past their stunned GK for his 37^th ARFC goal.

1-0

ARFC could have doubled its lead 15 mins from the break.  How Meng, who had obviously improved so much as a player while playing for Hougang United under Philippe Aw, executed a sizzling dribble that left their defenders tangled with their legs.  Facing their GK alone, How Meng tried to round him but was hacked down.  However, Alvin could only put the resulting penalty wide!

In the 2^nd half, the opponents then equalised. 1-1
