Singapore were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by Saudi Arabia in their third group game of the 2022 World Cup cum Asian Cup Qualifiers - at the King Abdullah Stadium.
The Lions entered the match top of their group with four points and were in good spirits, alas, Saudi proved a step too high for them to climb. Coach Tatsuma Yoshida went for a more defensive approach - deploying a 5-4-1 formation - but failed to pay dividends.
Indeed the home side was rampant in attack, which wasn't surprising given that they were playing on home soil and their status.
