The Sailors raced into a two-goal lead within the first half-hour, with Lestienne taking advantage of Mukundan Maran’s misjudgement to score from outside the area before Kim swivelled to thrash home from close range.
Moritz pulled one back for Hougang with a smart finish from 18 yards out, but Kim then applied the finishing touch to two good team moves to complete his hat-trick and put the visitors 4-1 up.
Hougang rallied with Bortuluzo tapping home a rebound and Moritz catching Izwan Mahbud out from range for his second, but it was too little too late for the Cheetahs.
