A goal-fest was started by Kopitović, who lashed in a left-footed stunner from just outside the area, before strike partner Taufik netted a close-range finish and Mehmedović joined the party with a stunning bicycle kick before half time.
Kopitović and Taufik grabbed a second each to put the Stags five goals up, before Shawal pulled one back immediately to give Hougang some hope. However, Gavin Lee’s men did not let up and Tan got in on the act before Kopitović completed his hat-trick late on.
