Best Possible Finishes in 2008: (as at 10-Oct)
1) The top-3 are still anybody's guess.
2) Tampines, with no hope of catching the top-3, are now confirmed to finish 4th, after Geylang was held by Young Lions 1-1 on 9-Oct.
3) 5th to 9th placed teams are still mathematically within each other.
4) 10th-placed Dalian can't finish higher than 7th.
5) 11th-placed Senglang can't finish higher than 9th.
6) Bottom-placed Balestier can't finish higher than 10th.
All-time Table: (as at 10-Oct)
1) Young Lions/Gombak are now tied at 241 pts.
2) Albirex has overtaken Sengkang at 199 pts with a better G/D!
3) Super Reds (84 pts) have Sinchi (88) / Clementi (95) firmly in sight...
4) Dalian (21 pts) need to do very well in their last 5 games to overtake Afrique (24) & Liaoning (29).
Milestone Games in 2008:
1) Following the 1800th ever league game on 29-Feb, another milestone has passed this season as well: The 1900th game took place on 24-July, where SAFFC beat Young Lions 2-0 away.
2) The 2000th game will only happen in 2009 season as 2008 season will end with the 1985th game on 17-Nov, where the Gombak/SAFFC & Home/Balestier games playing simultaneously.
Milestone Goals in 2008:
Ever since the "A-Game-A-Day" initiative was implemented in 2006, usually no more than 2 games are scheduled on the same day.
However, on 4-Sep, we saw 3 games taking place in the same day, only for the 2nd time since 2006: (If I'm not wrong, the first time happened during the climax of 2007 season, where the 3 title-chasing clubs played at the same time.)
Super Reds 2 - Seo Su Jong 5', Kim Jung Ho 37'
Woodlands Wellington 1 - Lucian Dronca 82'(p)
Balestier Khalsa 1 - Faizal Amir 24'
Young Lions 3 - Fadhil Noh 12', Afiq Yunos 30', Firdaus Idros 61'
Home United 3- Shi Jiayi 38', Kengne Ludovick 47',71'
Gombak United 0
This unusual day has made it a bit more complicated to determine the scorers of the 400th goal of 2008 S.League season and the 6400th goal all-time.
Prior to this day, 6390 all-time / 391 season (2008) goals have already been scored. Base on the match details available, below are the timeline of goals in chronological order, leading to the two milestone goals: (assuming all 3 maches started at the same time, w/o considering injury time)
All-time / 2008: Scorer, Time, Club
6391 / 392: Seo Su Jong 5' (Super Reds)
6392 / 393: Fadhil Noh 12' (Young Lions)
6393 / 394: Faizal Amir 24' (Balestier)
6394 / 395: Afiq Yunos 30' (Young Lions)
6395 / 396: Kim Jung Ho 37' (Super Reds)
6396 / 397: Shi Jiayi 38' (Home)
6397 / 398: Kengne Ludovick 47' (Home)
6398 / 399: Firdaus Idros 61' (Young Lions)
6399 / 400: Kengne Ludovick 71' (Home)
6400 / 401: Lucian Dronca 82'(p) (Woodlands)
So there you go... Congrats to both!!
