    • 5 mins to K.O.: Two attacking teams going at each other — this should be worth the ticket price.

Chalking up win after win — powered in large part by their mid-season transfers — they are still in the running to nick the #SGWPL title from ALBWT even as we head towards the end of the campaign. Can a thin LCSWT sqaud do their traditional 🟠 rivals a huge favour this evening?

  • [SPL] Tactical Snapshot: BGT No.19 Joel Chew vs. Alibrex Niigata (S) | 14 Dec 2025

    14 Dec, 50’: BGT No.19 Joel Chew retains the ball despite pressure from three different ALB players in central midfield through body feints and deliberate, deft touches into space.

  • [SPL] Tactical Snapshot: BAL No.30 Ignatius Ang vs. Lion City Sailors | 14 Dec 2025

    BAL No.20 Ignatius Ang vs. LCS (14 Dec, 12′):

    • Scans for teammates.
    • Step-overs to flat foot marker.
    • Pushes the ball inside. Marker follows and turns inside.
    • BAL No.17 Tin Matić makes the run out wide.
    • Fires a through ball out wide, behind his marker.

    BAL would score from the subsequent Matić cross and Mandić lunging finish.

  • [SPL] Tactical Snapshot: Balestier Khalsa 1-4 Lion City Sailors | 14 Dec 2025

    9’: LCS centre back Bailey Wright plays a long pass to left back Diogo Costa. Four LCS forwards spread out linearly inside the opposition box. Multiple finishing options on offer, but the team is vulnerable to transition because long ball build ups creates gaps between the forward line and the rest defence.

    LCS would go on to concede a goal in 12’ from a long ball build up -> turnover -> transition goal.

  • [SPL] Tactical Snapshot: Lead Up To BGT’s Third Goal In ALB 0-4 BGT | 14 Dec 2025 #SGCup

    Game state (85’):

    • Singapore Cup Semi-finals, 1st leg.
    • ALB are trailing two goals to nil.
    • ALB are playing with ten players (centreback ALB No.16 receiving treatment off the pitch).

    ALB tactical considerations (3-4-3):

    • How many players to commit forward vs. rest defence (in possession)?
    • How aggressive should the counter press be (out of possession)?
    • Who covers the missing centreback to form a back three?
    • Positioning of the far side wingback and winger?

    85′: BGT No.19 Joel Chew lifts the ball over the ALB press.

  • [SGP] Tactical Snapshot: Thailand U22 3-0 Singapore U22 | 11 Dec 2025

    51’: Lead up to THA U22’s second goal vs. SGP U22:

    • SGP U22 deploy a high backline OOP without accompanying high pressure on the ball.
    • THA U22 play a long, diagonal pass to exploit the space behind.

    67’: Both centre mids JT and OYE raise their hands to signal for the ball in order to launch a counterattack. But the ball hasn’t been won yet.

  • [SGPWT] Tactical Snapshot: THAWT 2-0 SGPWT | 10 Dec 2025

    It needed to be a 4-4-2 because the formation is simple enough for players to:

    • Return to their zone after jumping to track an opposition player, on their own.
    • Cover the gap left by their adjacent teammate(s), on their own.
    • Allow the centreback to monitor the overall team shape and call for changes accordingly.
    • Maximise the ball-winning capabilities of SGPWT No.9 and No.22 facing the ball, rather than being isolated as attacking outlets up front.

    Wingbacks complicate covering duties and zonal responsibilities when they switch between the backline and the midfield.

  • [SGP] Get On With It | Nov 2025

    He witnessed the challenge play out right in front of him. His fullback made the most of it—tumbling and rolling out across the touchline. Clutching his left shin, he stayed down. Just ten minutes more to go. Victory was in sight.

    The Head Coach walked over, bent down, and, with the slightest hint of irritation, nudged his player to get up. The replay showed there wasn’t much contact in the challenge, if any. You could almost hear him whisper, “Come on, get on with it.”

    The player got up, and play resumed; the throw-in was taken quickly. Results matter, but how they are achieved matters too. This journey has only just begun.
