Ilhan Fandi scores first professional goal

Last weekend’s game between Young Lions and Albirex Niigata saw a notable moment take place in Singapore football when Ilhan Fandi scored a scorcher against the Japanese side.

Ilhan, after all, isn’t just any footballer – he is the third son of legendary Singapore forward  Fandi Ahmad. Moreover, his goal saw him become the joint-fourth youngest scorer in Singapore Premier League history.

However, his strike wasn’t enough to prevent Young Lions from suffering a defeat to Albirex – the U23 side eventually lost 4-1.
