Singapore host Thailand at the National Stadium in Kallang on Tuesday at the 2024 ASEAN Championship, looking to make it three wins from three. Ranked 161st in the world, the Lions beat Cambodia 2-1 in their opening game as Muhammad Faris and Muhammad Shawal's early goals killed the game off inside the first quarter of the match.
They then made light work of East Timor in a 3-0 thrashing, as Kyoga Nakamura and Shawal (2) struck in the final 15 minutes for another three-pointer.
With six points in the bag, Tsutomu Ogura's side are second in the Group A table, behind only Thailand by virtue of an inferior goal difference. Another victory on Tuesday should all but confirm their progression.
Meanwhile, the War Elephants crushed East Timor 10-0 in their first game, recording their joint-largest victory in history with four players netting twice. It was followed by seeing off Malaysia 1-0 in their next match, as Patrik Gustavsson struck the only goal of the game in the 57th minute.
They are unbeaten in nine games across all competitions and have emerged as one of the early favorites for the ASEAN Championship title.
