Both Warriors and DPMM went into their final game on Friday (Oct 31) level on points, but the latter had a vastly superior goal difference. Thus the Warriors needed to better DPMM's result or the Bruneian team would win the title.
It was a cagey first half for both DPMM and the Warriors at their respective matches, but the title race sparked to life in the second half.
At the Choa Chu Kang Stadium, Hafiz Rahim scored what turned out to be the title-winning goal for the Warriors in the 47th minute against Albirex Niigata, as the match ended 1-0 to the Warriors.
DPMM - who were without midfielder Azwan Ali and 15-goal striker Roy O'Donovan - took on Tampines Rovers at the Jalan Besar Stadium. It was Tampines who drew first blood in the 64th minute through Jozef Kaplan, before Miljan Mrdakovic made it 2-0 in the 72nd minute.
Rodrigo Tosi clawed one back for DPMM in the 81st minute, but it was too little too late for the Bruneians as the Warriors clinched the S.League title.
This was also Aleksandar Duric's last match before retiring from professional football, as he ended his 16-year professional career in Singapore with a win. At the end of the match, he was presented with jerseys from Tampines Rovers Chairman Teo Hock Seng and Football Association of Singapore President Zainudin Nordin.
