1-3 loss to SAFFC ! Not good enough.........

Home United FC suffered a 1-3 defeat at the hands of title rivals SAFFC at the Choa Chu Kang Stadium on Wednesday evening.

New signing Norikazu Murakami made his debut for the Protectors when he came on at half-time for the unimpressive Itimi Dickson. He immediately repaid Home's faith by earning a penalty which Shi Jiayi converted to level the scores.

SAFFC did not wait long to take the lead again when Daniel Bennett scored to make ot 2-1.

Home United were given a great opportunity to nick at least a point when Ahmad Latiff was sent off with 15 minutes left in the match. To Home's die hard fans, it was disappointing as they failed to find the equalizer. SAFFC added further misery when John Wilkinson netted in the last minute to give SAFFC a 3-1 win.

Given it's still early days in this season's championship, Home United will look to quickly close the 5 points gap. They can ill afford to let SAFFC run away, or else they could be staring at another barren season......
