Home Advantage in AFC Cup Semis

Home United beat Indonesian side Persija Jakarta 3-2 in the first leg of their AFC Cup Asean zonal semi-final at the Jalan Besar Stadium yesterday.

The Singapore Premier League club had a dream start after defender Maman Abdurrahman scored an own goal after 80 seconds. Song Ui Yong made it 2-0 with a solo effort on nine minutes.

But poor defending at corners allowed Persija’s Ramdani Lestaluhu to grab a brace (32nd, 49th minute), before Home substitute Hafiz Nor snatched a win with a long-range strike 11 minutes from the end.
