Back home in the S-League last night – Shahril Ishak’s late strike saved the blushes of Home United after they took a commanding 2-nil lead into the half against Beijing Guo-an.

Tan Tian Cheng’s dramatic second-half goals turned the game around to 2-all.

However Ishak’s header 8 minutes from time decided the tie at the Jalan Besar Stadium.

The game was however marred by an off the field incident after full-time which also saw the sending off of Home’s Shariff Samat.

More S-League action later this evening as Gombak United take on Sengkang-Punggol at the Jurong West Stadium.

That tie will kick-off at 7:45pm.
