Young Lions' concentration issues persist, conceding thrice in 7 minutes in 3-0 loss to Thais
football campaign with some credit in the bank.
The scoreline on the jumbotron then read Thailand 0 Singapore 0.
But at full-time, the 3-0 defeat by record 16-time champions and hosts Thailand once again laid bare the reality of the defensive shortcomings and psychological vulnerabilities that have come to characterise the Young Lions under head coach Firdaus Kassim.
Their second defeat in as many matches they lost 3-1 to Timor-Leste on Dec 6 - confirmed that Singapore would finish bottom of the three-team Group A and bow out of the SEA Games football tournament at the group stage for a sixth consecutive time.
The latest loss came after the Thais scored three goals in just seven second-half minutes, with a brace from striker Yotsakorn Burapha, who plays his club football in Singapore with Hougang United.
