Grilled moved up a place to fifth despite the defeat, but Han Lik-Tsun acknowledged that anything less than victory against Changi Genius at The Cooking Pot come next Sunday would be disaster. "It's not that Changi are a bad team, but we just have to get the points." Han emphasized. "Arrogancae showed today what a winning habit can do when the chips are down, and we have to recapture that pronto."

For the record, Arrogancae beat Shining Lights 4-1 at home despite being evenly matched at best, steadily clawing their way back, and more, after András Boross gave Shining the lead, with Germán Fernández making a solid debut at wingback. Changi Genius meanwhile fell 2-4 to CCP in a fierce match marred by injury.

Changi's Israeli goalkeeper Dror Sapir is definitely out for next week, after he clashed legs with Ng Wee Kiong and fractured his shin, while Bernie Vollaers and Yap Ho Guang of CCP are also looking at time on the sidelines.

The week was rounded up by heimu XI's 5-1 hammering of Batavia Cavaliers in the battle of the promotees, with the Pandas shooting to the top of the table as a result. New heimu coach Tong Chee Khin was a picture of glee as he watched Tobies Turu bag a first-half hat-trick, and the only dark spot was former newbies defender Lee Chao Cheng getting injured in the second period.
