Hougang United and Woodlands Wellington contested in a tight affair which ended 2-2.to open their Great Eastern Yeo’s S.League 2014 campaign at the Hougang Stadium on Saturday evening.

Hougang drew first blood in the 17th minutes when a deep Fazli Jaffar cross from the left was headed in by defender Igor Cerina.
However, the Rams were not fazed by the goal and got the equaliser seven minutes later through debutant Taufiq Ghani.

Following Woodlands Wellington’s 2-2 draw with Hougang United in the season opener, Woodlands head coach Darren Stewart admitted that his opponents were unlucky not to have claimed three points.
“Hougang is a very good team. They are just unlucky. I wouldn’t say that we played very well and the result being a draw is very fair for us”, Stewart told the press.
“I feel superb gaining one point in this game because Hougang is team with a great bunch of players. Not many teams can come here to get points.”

Rams Hope For 'Milo' Tonic
[Article published in The New Paper, 21 February 2014]
They surpassed expectations to finish fifth in the Great Eastern-Yeo's S.League last season.
Woodlands' hopes of replicating their outstanding 2013 will depend, in some part, on how well their two new "Milo" imports fare.
Defender Milos Jevtic is a no-nonsense centre back who models his game after Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic.
Forward Stefan Milojevic, the former Birmingham City and Monaco man who used to don Geylang International's colours, is another important addition to the squad.
To avoid confusion, the team have resorted to calling Jevtic "Mickey".
New Woodlands coach Darren Stewart believes the Rams could be a force to be reckoned with if their two new foreign imports settle into the S.League quickly.
Said the Australian, who led Balestier Khalsa to the StarHub League Cup last year: "Mickey will get the job done, and Milo, well, everyone knows how good a player he is.
"It's just about getting him back (from a minor back injury) in time.
"The team's not just them, of course, but if they can combine well with the others, we'll do okay because we've got a good solid team here."
CORE SQUAD
Indeed, the Rams have managed to retain the core of the squad that surprised many with their fluid performances last season.
Veteran shot-stopper Yazid Yasin is still around, as are experienced defenders Rosman Sulaiman and Shahril Alias, Japanese midfield general Atsushi Shimono and livewire South Korean forwards Chang Jo Yoon and Moon Soon Ho.
But Stewart is sweating over the fitness of a number of his players, including Rosman (ankle), Shahril (knee), Jevtic (knee) and Milojevic (back).
"Tactically, we've hardly been able to do anything in pre-season," lamented the coach.
"I don't expect our first four games to go tremendously well because I've not had a full squad at all.
"That'll probably mean we will peak a bit later in the season, which might not be such a bad thing."
Yazid admitted Woodlands were much more fortunate with injuries and suspensions last season, and this contributed to their outstanding season.
"We were lucky because each time, at best, maybe we had one or two players out with injuries or suspensions," said the 34-year-old.
"But, apart from that, I don't think there's too much difference between last year's Woodlands and now.
"Everybody's working hard, and looking forward to the new season.
"It's always difficult to replicate a good season but it's up to the players to do their best and try to achieve it. We want to keep moving forward."
KEY TRANSFERS
In: Milos Jevtic (DF, Serbian, Dorcol Beograd) Stefan Milojevic (FW, Serbian, Geylang), Walid Lounis (DF, Tanjong Pagar)
Out: Cho Sung Hwan (DF, South Korean, released), Theerawekin Seehawong (MF, Thai, released), Shariff Allapitchay (DF, Tampines), Ang Zhi Wei (DF, Tampines)
THE COACH
Darren Stewart left Balestier Khalsa under a cloud of controversy at the end of last season after guiding the club to their first piece of silverware in the professional era, the StarHub League Cup.The former Australia international has never finished in the bottom half of the S.League in his five years as a head coach with Gombak United and then Balestier, and will want to keep that record going this season.
ONE TO WATCH
Yazid Yasin turns 35 in June, but the shot-stopper flings himself about during training as though he were still a teenager. His flying saves contributed greatly to Woodlands' top-half finish last season, and he will be depended upon again to lead from the back.
