But just like they have done twice this season, they rallied, this time earning a point against the Cheetahs with a 4-4 draw at the Jalan Besar Stadium.
While it was not enough to leapfrog Hougang into fifth spot in the nine-team league, coach Nazri Nasir commended his side's fighting spirit.
He said: "I'm very proud of my boys and I'm very happy with the result. I told them that in the second half, you have to believe in yourselves, be confident and then take one goal at a time, and that's what we saw.
"Self-belief is very important, just being confident, composed and in control. (I told them) no rush because in 45 minutes, anything can happen. The discipline was there, they thought about defending first and we tried to create (chances)."
