Final comment

Great victory for Singapore at the end of their preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The home team started off trailing, but managed to recover to equalize the score before the end of the first half, and turned the result around in the second half with two more goals.

They were able to recover from an initial disadvantage against a team that had defeated them on the two previous occasions they had met, a great merit for the Singapore team.
