::Result: Prime League Match 2008 (Week 5) : Sengkang Punggol FC 1-2 Balestier Khalsa FC (0-1)::

HOUGANG, 24 April: Ten-men Balestier Khalsa scored a 2-1 win over Sengkang Punggol at Hougang Stadium. Megat Hikal headed the Tigers into the lead in the 44th minute before Muhd Al-Ameen Maricar, suspiciously in an offside position, equalised for the Dolphins in the 52nd minute.

Tigers' coach Marko Kraljevic then sent on substitute Tian Boon Siang for goalscorer Megat Hikal in the 64th minute. However, a minute later, striker Muhammad Izuaan (picture) was given a straight red for striking an opponent after referee Ahmad A'qashah failed to blow for an initial shirt-pulling by the Sengkang defender.

Balestier scored the winning goal in the 73rd minute. A free-kick from Anantha Rajan, was pushed away by Sengkang keeper Ridhuan Barudin to his right to Tian Boon Siang, who took a shot and the ball deflected a Sengkang player and went in. But the goal was credited by the referee to another substitute Poh Yi Feng, who was far away from the goalmouth area, leaving the players and officials in the Tigers camp scratching their heads.
