SINGAPORE - It was not exactly the Kallang Roar, and the National Stadium was again nowhere near full capacity. But if the Lions can continue their renaissance and play enterprising football under Tatsuma Yoshida, it will not be long before the fabled fever pitch is back.
In front of 12,547 fans, Yoshida's men did not cower against the central Asians. Once again showing his tactical flexibility, he deployed the Lions in a 4-5-1 formation, with playmaker Zulfahmi Arifin standing in at left-back while skipper and defensive midfielder Hariss Harun played an advanced role behind lone striker Ikhsan Fandi.
Five minutes later, the visitors took the lead through Odil Ahmedov's piercing free kick but Singapore continued to take the game to the Uzbeks. But justice was served in the next minute when Ikhsan towered over his marker to head in Shahdan Sulaiman's cross for his seventh international goal in 16 caps before the Lions entered half-time to a rousing ovation.
