A second goalless draw for Geylang
Noor Ali’s side went into the derby on their best start to a top-flight season since their title-winning 2001 campaign, four wins and a draw from five, with winger Yang Hyeonju on four league goals. Their only other dropped points also came in a 0-0, against Balestier Khalsa at Bishan Stadium on 17 October.
For Tampines, the draw ended a run of four straight league wins under Nazri Nasir. It also extended their unbeaten run against Geylang to nine matches across all competitions, the ninth being this 0-0. Geylang have not beaten the Stags since July 2023. The point came days after a 5-1 defeat to Cambodia’s PKR Svay Rieng in the AFC Champions League Two, Tampines’ third loss from three in that group.
Sailors close the gap with a 4-0 at Bishan
The defending champions won 4-0 away to Balestier Khalsa at Bishan Stadium on 1 November, ending a month in which the Tigers had not lost. Mark Jackson’s side have now scored 20 goals in five league games, six of them against Tanjong Pagar United on 25 October before a 2-0 win at Adelaide United in the Champions League Two.
Elsewhere in matchweek six, Tanjong Pagar and FC Jurong drew 1-1 at Jurong East Stadium on 30 October, leaving the two clubs level with Balestier on seven points. Young Lions picked up their first win of the season on 31 October, which we covered in our report on Young Lions 2-0 Hougang United.
