SINGAPORE: The S.League season may be over, but local soccer fans turned their attention to the RHB Singapore Cup final on Sunday evening as Geylang United defeated Bangkok Glass 1-0 at the Jalan Besar Stadium.
The Bangkok Glass were hoping to make history by becoming the first foreign team to win Singapore's premier knock-out football tournament.
However, their opponents Geylang made that task difficult as both teams fought to a 0-0 draw in the first half.
After the break, the two teams were still unable to break the deadlock until the 82nd minute.
Geylang took the lead through a Hafiz Rahim effort, the only goal of the match.
This is Geylang's first RHB Cup title, after coming in second in 2001 and 2003.
The team also pocketed S$80,000 for their win, while runners-up Bangkok Glass received S$40,000.
