An Aleksandar Duric brace helped Tampines Rovers to a 3-0 win over Loyola Meralco Sparks and sent them through to the RHB Singapore Cup final 5-0 on aggregate.

Following a goalless first half, Duric - who also netted in the first leg - opened the scoring in the 78th minute when he strongly held off a Park Min-ho's challenge before firing home to all but kill off their opponents' hopes.

Five minutes later, the Singapore international netted his second from close range, before Imran Sahib added a third in injury-time to cap off an excellent night for the visitors.

The result also ended Loyola's brave run in their debut appearance in the competition, although they can return to the Philippines with their heads held high after some excellent displays, including victories over Geylang United and Kanbawza in the earlier rounds.
