10 Jan (38′): BG Tampines moving Lion City Sailors’ low block forward ten yards (from 30 to 40 yards) to enable a long ball over-the-top play:
- LCS settles into a 5-4-1 low block. BGT No.4 Shuya Yamashita passes the ball to right back BGT No.2 Raoul Suhaimai.
- BGT No.2 Raoul invites and deals with pressure from left forward LCS No.10 Bart Ramselaar. LCS typically presses the opposition’s back line with only one player.
- BGT No.88 Koya Kazama and BGT No.11 Glenn Kweh drop back. BGT No.7 Seiga Sumi stays in place. The LCS block starts to move forward in preparation for a turnover.
- BGT No.2 Raoul and BGT No.4 Yamashita move back behind the halfway line. Raoul passes the ball back to Yamashita.
- BGT No.4 Yamashita sends the ball long for BGT No.7 Sumi to receive. BGT No.25 Higashikawa pins two LCS players in the penalty box.
