SINGAPORE — Needing to avoid defeat in order to progress to the Asean Football Federation (AFF) Mitsubishi Electric Cup semi-finals, Singapore sunk to a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Causeway rivals Malaysia on Tuesday (Jan 3).
At the Bukit Jalil stadium in Kuala Lumpur, a first-half header from Darren Lok and a second-half Stuart Wilkin double put the Tigers comfortably ahead, before a late goal from substitute Faris Ramli reduced arrears.
The Lions began their campaign with a closely-contested 3-2 victory over Myanmar and followed that up with a 2-0 victory away to Laos. A 0-0 stalemate against Vietnam at the Jalan Besar stadium on Friday then kept them in good stead to make the semis for the second consecutive tournament. The Lions' first chance fell the way of Irfan Fandi, with the defender on the end of a Christopher Van Huizen cross in the 11th minute. But the 25-year-old could only direct his header wide.
Then came the crucial goal for the Tigers in the 35th minute as Safawi Rasid seized possession on the right and his cross was headed home by Lok. But the Lions were not alone in missing key men. Malaysia too were missing a host of players from league champions Johor Darul Ta'zim.“To me in last March and this tournament not much different... They care about defensive, drop down and look for a counter-attack but Malaysia is different," said Kim."We want to be proactive, we want to dominate the game, give energetic and dynamic football play to achieve a win so we are different from them.
Substitute Faris would bundle in a consolation for the Lions after Amy Recha ghosted in from the right and played the ball across to his onrushing teammate.
