Lion City Sailors secured the Community Shield trophy with a commanding 2-0 defeat of Tampines Rovers, with striker Ilhan Fandi scoring both goals in a dominant display.
Fandi's clinical finishing capped a period of exceptional form for the 24-year-old forward, who has been instrumental in his club's recent success. His brace on Tuesday evening demonstrated the lethal touch that has defined his campaign.
The victory marks an early trophy for Lion City Sailors under their management and provides momentum heading into the domestic season proper. Tampines Rovers, despite their status as defending S.League champions, could not contain the visitors' attacking prowess.
Fandi's goal-scoring prowess was previously on display during Singapore's run to the semi-finals of the 2026 ASEAN Championship, where he netted four times. His continued consistency for club and country underscores his emergence as one of regional football's most promising talents.
