AFC Champions League Two
The Singapore side scored with their first attack through Hide Higashikawa and then had to show a very different style of game for the rest of the match as Pohang dominated possession and produced 20 attempts at Syazwan Buhari’s goal.
The defence marshalled by Dylan Fox let nothing through and even though Korea Republic’s Pohang had eight shots on target, all proved to be either easy saves for Syazwan or standard clearances from the defence.

“We came into this game knowing that Pohang are one of the best teams in Asia,” said Noh. “But again, this game was also about us challenging ourselves at this level.
“If you want to be there, if you want to be in the Round of 16, this is the kind of game that will test our character. And I think the boys showed that tonight."

The win ensured Tampines stayed perfect at the midway point of the group stage, three points ahead of Pohang with Thailand’s BG Pathum United a further three adrift.

“In the last month and a half since I came, we started to convince the rest of the players that didn't play so much this season to have the confidence to play and it was only a matter of time before they got their chances.
“With matches every three days, we need a bigger roster so the chance to play will come. We tried a couple of players who haven't had much minutes and they did very well.”
