SINGAPORE: Singapore wants to make history by winning the ASEAN Football Federation Cup for the third successive time.
And the Lions got off to a good start, beating Cambodia 5-0 in their opening tie at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta.
Singapore was the clear favourite to score and Aleksander Duric came close in the 11th minute with a solo effort.
Minutes later, Agu Casmir also missed a golden chance to score a goal.
Singapore continued to fire blanks as the pressure mounted on the defending champion.
More frustration was felt for Singapore, when Duric finally found the back of the Cambodian net but saw his goal being ruled off-side.
Minutes from the break, Agu Casmir scored to give the Lions a 1-0 lead.
The floodgates opened for Singapore in the second half. The second goal was scored by Mustafic Fahrudin, after Noh Rahman was brought down.
Indra Sahdan Daud followed with another goal after he came on as a substitute, making it 3-0 for the Lions.
Agu Casmir then scored his second goal for the night, to give Singapore a 4-0 goal advantage, before Noh Alam Shah wrapped it up with a superb effort by making it five goals in all.
The Lions scored three points with their 5-0 win. They will meet Myanmar on Sunday.
