Silver Calling Gold
Tian Yonghang accepted the trophy with good grace at the presentation ceremony immediately following the match, while
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim was an unexpected co-winner of the tournament Golden Boot, his outrageous four-goal haul on the day earning him a share of the award, alongside teammate
Rinor Isufi.
Isufi, who had evidently not quite gotten over not being selected, did however acknowledge Mohd Safri and
Chow Ying Lee's outstanding feats. "It was quite the lesson they put on." the Albanian said, cradling his prize. "Of course, I still have to admit being a bit sore at not participating in this classic."
Tian wasted no time in urging his comrades to keep their eyes on the actual target. "Winning a tournament's all well and good, but with all due respect, our last two league matches are much, much more important than this final. Ocean Pro Helengeli were excellent, and we will expect no less from our S-League opposition."
