Singapore got their 2022 AFF Championship campaign under way on Saturday with a thrilling 3-2 win over Myanmar in their Group B opener at the Jalan Besar Stadium.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With key men Ikhsan Fandi and Adam Swandi sidelined with injury as well as goalkeeper Hassan Sunny and defender Irfan Fandi serving a one-game suspension following their red cards in the 2020 AFF Championship semifinal, Singapore were dealt a setback in the 34th minute after Lamphun Warrior star Maung Maung Lwin managed to cap off a devastating Myanmar counterattack with a delightful chip that went over the head of Singapore backup goalie Zaiful Nizam.<\/p>\n

The hosts managed to drew things level just before half-time, with Ilhan Fandi managing to head a Christopher van Huizen cross into Myo Min Latt’s goal.<\/p>\n

Four minutes after the restart Singapore managed to turn things around to their advantage, Shah Shahiran giving the Lions the lead with a well-taken cannonball that grazed Latt’s palm on it’s way to the goal – the midfielder’s first international goal.<\/p>\n

Lwin, however, restored parity for Myanmar in the 66th minute with an excellent volley, seizing upon a mistake done by Singapore substitute Ryhan Stewart in the buildup with the Chiangmai FC player passing the ball straight onto Lwin’s path for him to finish things off.<\/p>\n

It was Singapore who had the last laugh, though – a 74th minute goal kick by Nizam led to Shawal Anuar tapping the ball into Latt’s goal first-time to seal victory for the Lions.<\/p>\n

Group B’s other match saw Malaysia utterly demolishing Laos 5-0 at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium. Newly naturalized striker Sergio Ezequiel Aguero<\/a> scored his first international goal to kickstart the party in the 29th minute, before the\u00a0Harimau Malaya\u00a0<\/em>ran riot in the second half.<\/p>\n

Newly signed by Selangor FC a few days ago, Faisal Halim scored a brace in the 65th and 68th minutes, while both Haqimi Azim Rosli and Stuart Wilkin scored one a piece as Malaysia dominated their match from start to finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
