Home United won their fifth Singapore Cup and their first in 6 years as they defeated Albirex Niigata (S) 1-0 in the Final.

French forward Frederic Mendy got the winner in extra-time although the Protectors should have won it at the death in full time as they had the ball in the net.

But refereeLeow Thiam Hoe ruled there was a foul by Mendy before he netted the goal.

There was no denying the Frenchman who finally netted again in extra-time and this time the referee can find no reason to cancel it out.   

In the third/fourth place match, Etoile FC defeated Hougang United 3-0 to clinch third position for the second season in a row..

Ironically last season against Young Lions, Etoile FC also won by the same scoreline of 3-0.

It was Anthony Moulin who scored a brace with Stephane N'cho adding in one goal in between.

This time it wasKamel Chaaouane, Franklin Anzite and Theo Raymondwho got the goals.
