Tampines Rovers FC won the 2019 Komoco Motors Singapore Cup after defeating Warriors FC 4-3 in a thrilling final at Jalan Besar Stadium.
There were goals galore as four different players from Tampines got on the scoresheet, including a beautiful long-range finish from Joel Chew in the 31st minute. The other Tampines scorers were Irwan Shah, Amirul Adli and Zehrudin Mehmedovic. Although a Khairul Nizam double in the first half and an 86th-minute Fairoz Hasan goal gave Warriors hope, Tampines ultimately proved too strong for them.
Tampines first-team coach Gavin Lee acknowledged his players’ effort after the exciting final, saying, “We knew before the game that Warriors had really capable players up front who could cause us problems, but it is our ability to stay calm and composed that made the difference, so kudos to the boys.
