Singapore U22s claim first win in AFC U23 Asian Cup Qualifiers, climb to second spot Image via Junpiter Futbol, BP Chua 29 October 2021, Singapore - Singapore's U22 football team claimed its first win of their AFC U23 Asian Cup Qualifiers yesterday, courtesy of a Glenn Kweh strike in on 52 minutes. The Lions had earlier survived a penalty scare when Singapore's hero against Timor Leste Jordan Emaviwe was adjudged to have brought down Kieran Hayes in the penalty box, but Philippines skipper Olive Bias saw his spot kick canon off the underside of the bar to safety and to the Lions' relief. Image via Football Association of Singapore Singapore had looked lively up to that point, but similar to the previous match against Timor Leste, were unable to capitalise on their chances. Nazri Nasir's charges finally found the breakthrough they were looking for 7 minutes into the second period when Glenn Kweh's brilliant first tough saw him take Danish Irfan's crossfield pass in his stride, before he left his marker for dead to lash home from the edge of the area off the inside of the post. With the result Singapore climbs into second in the table on 4 points, 2 behind leaders Korea Republic, who hammered six past the Lions' opening match opponents in the other fixture of Group H.

Hosts Singapore clinch top spot in Group A, Thailand overcome Timor Leste Image via thanhnien.vn 6 December 2021, Singapore - Hosts Singapore got their AFF Suzuki Cup campaign off to a flying start with a thumping 3-0 victory over Myanmar in their opening Group A match at the Singapore National Stadium last evening. A clinical first-half brace by Ikhsan Fandi after Safuwan Baharudin's headed opener gave the Lions a three goal advantage going in at the break, and the hosts were able to see out the match to secure all three points in their tournament opener. Image via thanhnien.vn FK Jerv striker Ikhsan showed great composure to drill the ball into the bottom corner with an angled drive, before he leapt highest to divert home a Shahdan Sulaiman free kick. Head Coach Tatsuma Yoshida would be certain to impress on his charges that Singapore last lifted the trophy in 2012, and have not progressed beyond the Group Stages ever since so celebrations are likely to be minimal after the opening match. They will next face the Philippines on Wednesday, who have yet to play a match in the tournament.
