New foreign import signing Davis Ikaunieks opened his account for the club in the 29th minute but the visitors hit back through Kodai Tanaka and Anton Fase.
The Gegar Gegar men will resume competitive action in the Singapore Cup against Young Lions on February 15 before returning to league action against Tampines Rovers FC on February 23. – Fadhil Yunus
