A tight game was always going to be decided by fine margins and that proved to be the case on this occasion. With the home side reduced to 10 men after captain Hami Syahin was dismissed for a second bookable offence, Hougang capitalised on the numerical advantage with Doi slamming home his 16th goal of the season from unmissable range after Young Lions custodian Ridhwan Fikri had inexplicably dropped Afiq Noor’s cross.
