Tampines take giant step towards title

Tampines Rovers have taken a giant step towards winning the 2011 S-league as they defeated a weary-looking Home United at Tampines Stadium.

With the Protectors playing in the Singapore Cup Final just 3 days earlier, the Stags had a big advantage of of a well-rest squad and the Stags took full advantage of it.

In a match played on field that I cannot called a pitch, it was a match of few chances as both sides were unable to create much with the state of the field.

In the end, it was a moment of inspiration from Ahmad Latiff who notched the winner.

The Stags now go one point ahead of Home United with one game left
