They might have lost to Terengganu in their AFC Cup tie in midweek, but Tampines Rovers are gaining momentum in their revival in the S-League.

After beating Home United 2-0 last Thursday, the Stags turned on the style to demolish Geylang United 5-1 at the Bedok Stadium last night. Their second win in a row moved the defending champions up to third in the table.

Stags captain Aleksandar Duric bagged a hat-trick, while Ahmed Fahmie and Mustafic Fahrudin also got on the scoresheet. Jozef Kaplan's strike in the 42nd minute proved to be a mere consolation goal for the Eagles.
