DPMM FC end Albirex Niigata's hopes of retaining SPL crown

Brunei DPMM might have just effectively killed off reigning SPL (Singapore Premier League) champions, Albirex Niigata's hopes of retaining their crown after the Bruneian side defeated them 2-0 to go top of the table.

Razimie Ramli and Adi Said were on target for DPMM at the Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah stadium - allowing them to leapfrog Hougang United to first place in the league table. Albirex for their part, however, remained in the fourth spot on 36 points and with three games left it will be hard to see Hougang or DPMM slip up - given the form they are in.
