Sailors rout Tanjong Pagar to stay top of SPL 2022

SINGAPORE (21 Aug 2022) – Lion City Sailors routed Tanjong Pagar United 7-0 to stay top of the AIA Singapore Premier League 2022.

The defending champions were never in danger of losing sight of the prize in spite of taking just a 2-0 lead at the half with goals from Maxime Lestienne (10^th minute) and Hafiz Nor (45^th min+1).

The sailors then powered on through Gabriel Quak (53^rd), Kim Shin-wook (58^th), Diego Lopes (69^th minute penalty, 87^th) and Song Ui-young (74^th) for them to pick up 48 points from 21 matches played.

Three points behind on second is Albirex Niigata who this week smashed Tampines Rovers 4-2 – off a brace each from Kodai Tanaka (4^th and 29^th minute) and Ilhan Fandi (45th+2 and 55^th).

Tampines were on target through Boris Kopitović (11^th) and Kyoga Nakamura (22^nd).
