Home United FC finished 3rd in this year's League Cup after a disappointing penalty shoot-out win over a depleted Woodlands Wellington FC. The match ended 2-2 after 90 minutes and the match went straight into penalties where Home United triumphed 4-2.
Head Coach PN Sivaji recalled his big name players for this match, with a view to give them some match action before travelling out to Hong Kong for their AFC Cup match against South China FC. Captain S.Subramani, Lionel Lewis, Sharil Ishak, Shi Jiayi, Syed Fadhil, Rosman Sulaiman, Juma'at Jantan and Peres De Oliveira all started the match. Their inclusion meant the dynamic bunch of Firdaus Idros, Naruphol Ar-Romsawa, Azhar Sairudin and Shadan Sulaiman, all miss out.
On the contrary, Woodlands Wellington Head Coach Nenad Bacina called up three unknown Prime League players into his starting lineup. He was missing 5 first teamers due to suspension. Topscorer and livewire Jamil Ali was also left on the bench.
Home United's first teamers struggled to impose themselves against the make shift Rams and to the fans disapoointment, they could only draw 2-2.
Luckily for the Protectors, the penalty takers held their nerves and clinched 3rd place and with it a $5000 prize money!
