The ex-Warriors captain was happy with the 2-2 draw against his former side which extended their unbeaten streak to nine games, while Richard Bok was happy with a point as well. "I thought it was a good game; I'm satisfied with the point," explained SAFFC coach Richard Bok after the game.

"Overall, we had good movement, we worked well down the flanks, and we took our goals well."

"In terms of our play, I'm satisfied with the way we played. I hope we can continue or improve in the Cup game," noted Bok, referring to the coming semi-final against Gombak United.

Match Preview: Singapore Armed Forces vs Hougang United

The statistics are clear - Hougang United stand a huge chance of winning SAFFC. Having been cellar dwellers for long spells since the induction of the S-League, they have done pretty well last year and this year, cementing their place in mid-table. The name change has proven to be a ‘lucky charm’ for Hougang, as they ditched their ‘marine’ history for a land animal, the Cheetah.

Sure enough, the Cheetahs of Hougang United have been relentless this whole season, with the latest being a win over 2nd placed Albirex Niigata just last week in a 3-2 thriller at the Jurong East Stadium. Their opponents however, have been constantly on the drop, disappointing enough for a team which had won the league trophy eight times since the induction of the league (16 years).

SAFFC needed a rebound from a penalty in the dying minutes to seal the win against Hougang United and progress to the semi-final

The intention was evident from the starting eleven for both SAFFC and Hougang United as several senior players made their return to the respective squads.

Hougang were forced to make do without Stanislav Vidakovic as he is set to miss the rest of the season after he underwent an operation two days ago due to a ligament injury.

Hougang will start off their knockout stages, and a possible dream run to League Cup glory, when they travel to the Choa Chu Kang Stadium to face the recently resurgent Singapore Armed Forces FC this coming Saturday.

Right after the three week break in June, Hougang had turned into a more exciting outfit, by going on a six-game unbeaten streak. However, that was ended by Home United last Wednesday, after a second-string line up went down 2-0 against the Protectors.

It was a story of near misses on a rain-soaked Sunday night at the Choa Chu Kang Stadium, where both teams, Hougang and the SAF Warriors, badly needed a win to restart their season.

Both teams were had experienced painful defeats last time round. Hougang were looking to add on to their lucky streak at the Warriors Dome, where they had won the last two meetings last season. Faizal Amir returned to the right-back slot, after serving a match suspension. Ignatius Ang returned to the bench. Fazli Jaffar returned to his much favoured left wing slot.

In a week when Hougang United became the talk of the world, with an impending bid from a Singapore-Based consortium, led by Mr Bill Ng, the Cheetahs will be preparing their upcoming game against the 8-times S-League Champions, Singapore Armed Forces FC.

Hougang had only won once in their last 4 games. However, they managed to hold out defending champions Tampines Rovers during the period, and were unlucky in conceding a controversial goal in the dying minutes.

Hougang would be looking forward to get over their disappointment of their last fixture vs Albirex Niigata. Played in front of 1,288 fans on a blistering hot Friday night, Hougang conceded in the dying minutes that saw them losing unfairly, however, with their heads held up high.

No love lost as Hougang and SAFFC battle out a 1-1 draw in pre-season friendly

Reported by: Nigel
Photo: Lionel Ng
It was a friendly, but there was no love lost between Hougang United and SAFFC, who both fought hard in the 1-1 draw played at Jalan Besar Stadium. Both teams had almost their full squad to choose from, although new signing Seiji Saito misses this game as he have not cleared his beep test yet.

Starting in a 4-5-1 formation, Hougang had new signings Vidakovic at the back, while Ante Barac was in the attacking midfielder position behind lone frontman Sobrie. SAFFC on the other hand, started Shukor and Shimpei in central midfield, with Tatsuro Inui on the right wing as they played in their familiar 4-4-2 formation. Vidakovic was tasked to man-mark star man Mislav Karoglan, in what would have been an interesting match-up.

Friendly – SAFFC vs Hougang United

(14/01/12, 7pm, Jalan Besar Stadium)
by JustSports | Posted on Saturday, January 14th, 2012
Hougang United, the most supported S-League (DPMM excused) club this coming season thanks to the Hougang Hools, will get the perfect opportunity to show just what a supporters group sounds like, as they have the chance to sing, shout and support Hougang vs SAFFC at Jalan Besar this evening. Can they out voice the LionsXII crowd? Maybe not tonight, but once the S-League season kicks off quite probably.

Fresh off a 4-0 victory over NFL1 team SSC at the Padang last Sunday, with goals scored by Syaqir, Diallo, Hafeez and Shameer. One would expect a much sterner test from SAFFC than the NFL1 and possibly less rotations as coach Bacina looks to narrow down on the 22 players who saw minutes against SSC.

SAFFC will have to wait for yet another year to lay their hands on the League Cup, after they were sent crashing out of the competition on Friday evening by Hougang United, who came back from a goal behind to seal progress into the semifinals.
Indra Sahdan Daud scored late in the first half to delight the Warriors fans gathered at Choa Chu Kang Stadium, only for Jordan Webb to cancel his strike out on 53 minutes.

Cheetahs having fun with horny hippo

Time to show the Orange Power at the Jalan Besar Stadium when the match between The Cheetahs and Warriors goes live this Friday night.

Both sides have come to this match with much optimism, each bagging 3 points from their last game.

Cheetahs' shock win 1-0 over Gombak and SAF's 2-0 triumph of Home United. SAF are now sitting in 2nd (updated: 3rd) spot whilst Hougang United are making new grounds moving up to 7th (updated: 8th) in the S-league, thanks to a Jordan Webb effort which secured victory for Hougang via a Gombak defence slip up.

Hougang coach Aide was naturally glad of the three points.

“We showed plenty of character tonight, I thought,” he told S-league.com “A goal is a goal, it doesn’t matter how the chance came. And with a couple of tough games coming ahead, this win will be good for our morale.

It was unfortunate to lose Diego, and we’ll have to see what the doctor says on how serious this latest injury is."


Two Hougang United players might miss this coming match, they are Diego Gama who pulled a hamstring and Shariff Samat who has since collected his 5th yellow Card - both from their last match with Gombak United at Jurong West.

Anything can happen especially when on neutral ground. That's why it's vital that Hougang United supporters become the 12th player for the Cheetahs. Your presence at the JBS can prove to be pivotal in the outcome of this match.

Let's get ready to upset SAF like what happened against Gombak United! :)

ORANGE POWER!
