SINGAPORE - After sitting atop Group D of the World Cup Qualifiers following their first two games, the Lions were brought back to earth after suffering a 3-0 defeat by Asian powerhouses Saudi Arabia at the King Abdullah Stadium in Buraidah on Thursday .
Instead of wilting, Singapore managed some decent passages of play as Yasir Hanapi forced Mohammed Al-Owais into a smart stop in the 31st minute with an angled shot, four minutes later, Lions skipper Hariss Harun also tested the Saudi goalkeeper from range. But world No. 70 Saudi Arabia, who have never lost to Singapore in 10 previous encounters, showed their superiority in the second half as they laid siege on the 157th-ranked visitors' goal.
Abdulfattah then completed the scoring six minutes later when he slotted home Abdullah's square pass.
