Wasteful Cubs Punished in Lion City Cup Opener

The Singapore Under-16 boys were undone by a pair of counter-attacking goals as they were defeated 2-0 by the Philippines in their Lion City Cup opener at the Jalan Besar Stadium on July 9.

Wasteful Cubs Punished in Lion City Cup Opener

Despite having the lion's share of the possession and goal attempts, the Singaporeans could not finish off their opponents.

And they were left to rue their wasteful display when the visitors grabbed the lead in the 64th minute against the run of play through substitute Joshua Gabriel Moleje, before Lawrence Binalong sealed the win with five minutes to go.

Singapore U-16 coach Ashraf Ariffin admitted his boys lacked composure in front of goal, despite controlling the match.

"They competed from start to finish, (which is) something I wanted to see (and) held their heads high towards the end."
