Paulo Josue scored a second-half brace to help his nation turn the game around.
Singapore, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 2-1 win over Cambodia. They were 2-0 up at the break courtesy of goals from Faris Ramli and Shawal Anuar. Sieng Chanthea halved the deficit just before the hour mark.

Timor-Leste vs Singapore Prediction
Timor-Leste gave Malaysia a scare last time out but were ultimately unable to get the job done against their more illustrious opponents. They once again enter this game as heavy underdogs. They are yet to register their first points of the tournament after two games and another defeat here would all but put paid to their chances of advancing to the knockout rounds.
Singapore held on to claim maximum points against Cambodia. They would have expected to have had an easier path to victory but gaining three points is all that matters for Tsutomu Ogura's side.
We are backing the Lions to claim a comfortable victory with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Timor-Leste 1-3 Singapore
