The pressure is now on Ceres, says Home United coach Aidil Sharin

Singapore: Home United coach Aidil Sharin believes the 2-1 win over Ceres Negros in the AFC Cup ASEAN Zonal Final first leg on Wednesday has the Singaporeans in the driving seat ahead of next week’s return meeting in the Philippines.

Defender Hariss Harun’s late goal at Jalan Besar Stadium ensured the hosts a slender aggregate lead after Home United striker Stipe Plazibat’s early penalty was cancelled out by Ceres captain Martin Steuble’s speculative effort.

Khairul Nizam could have ensured an even better result for Sharin’s side but the midfielder was denied by Roland Muller to leave the tie delicately poised ahead of the second leg in Bacolod City on August 9.
