Despite an exhilarating display of attacking football, the Jaguars were unable to capitalise on chances created and eventually lost to Hougang United in our first home game of the season.

As head coach Patrick Vallee expressed after the game, he was proud of the team’s attacking display regardless of the result. With midfield maestro Kamel Ramdani out due to injury, the playmaking duties fell upon Sebastien Etiemble’s shoulders. The 26-year-old Frenchman had a pass completion percentage of 75%, with 66% of it coming from attacking plays.

Firdaus Idros had the second highest pass completion rate with 69% of his passes finding his teammates.

In defense, skipper Hafiz Osman and Anthony Aymard won 71% and 75% of their total challenges made respectively.

The attacking display from both sides resulted in shot on goal ratio of 11:14 with the Jaguars enjoying 53% of ball possession.
