Home United handed Harimau Muda their first defeat of the campaign with a 2-1 victory at the Bishan Stadium in an enthralling encounter between the strongest attack and stingiest defence in the league.
Top scorer Shotaro Ihata opened the scoring for the home side, but the Young Tigers rallied in the second-half through Ahmad Hazwan’s wonder goal.
Just as Harimau Muda looked to preserve their unbeaten status, one shared only by Brunei DPMM, Frederic Mendy ensured that the Protectors returned to winning ways with a well-placed goal.
