Tatsuma Yoshida got his selection of players wrong as Lions suffer second defeat in their campaign.......
After a bruising 3-0 defeat against Saudi Arabia, Singapore set out to win against a high-flying Uzbekistan side to get their 2022 World Cup Qualifying campaign back on track at the National Stadium.
The Uzbeks had just beaten Yemen 5-0 but the Lions were not ready to cow against their opponents and immediately took the game to their opponents. Tatsuma Yoshida had spoken about being ambitious in his pre-game match conference - and the Lions showed just that.
Singapore began the game brightly, stringing passes while creating chances to score - however it was Uzbekistan that drew first blood.
