Trailing 4-0 from the first leg, goals by Ozawa Nozomi and Shingo Nakano had given Albirex hope but Seiga Sumi netted in the 55th minute to steady Tampines’ push for a final berth and leave Katsuyuki Ishibashi’s 72nd minute effort as a consolation for the visitors. 

Tampines will face fellow Shopee Cup™ participants Lion City Sailors FC in the final as Aleksandar Ranković’s side edged Balestier Khalsa FC 1-0 to seal a 5-1 aggregate win as Shawal Anuar struck in the ninth minute at Jalan Besar Stadium to confirm their progress.
