Singapore water-polo team veteran and vice-captain [and SMU undergraduate] Loh Zhi Zhi scored twice in an 8-5 win over main tournament rivals Indonesia, to continue the team’s 50-year unbeaten streak. While Nigel Tay remained ever-reliable in goal, Loh marshalled his defence well and also seized the attacking initiative on several occasions when the opponents committed to stopping centre-forwards Teo and Lin. The Singapore coach's assessment was simple, saying: "With Nigel and Zhi Zhi, they (Indonesia) had nothing against us."
