Home keep up the chase for second with win

After falling behind at the Woodlands Stadium in the eighth minute to Moon Soon-ho's opener, the Protectors must feared that they were going to be hit black in the eye after their previous 0-3 loss against Hougang.

But this time they hit back when in the 20th minute when Masrezwan Masturi levelled the scores.

Sirina Camara then wasted an excellent chance to put the visitors in front when he saw his penalty saved by Yazid Yasin shortly after the hour mark, but they eventually took the lead in the 70th minute when Jordan Webb found the back of the net.

Four minutes later, Webb added a second to make it 3-1 and the strike proved crucial when Chang Jo-yoon pulled one back for the Rams in the 80th minute, although Home did enough to hang on to the three points.

The result meant the Protectors are only 1 point behind second-placed Albirex Niigata (S).
