SINGAPORE: Just as the afternoon sunshine melted into angry storm clouds, Singapore's hopes of a victory against Laos in their SEA Games opener looked to be rapidly dissipating on Saturday .
Laos had been ahead - with goals from Ekkamai Ratxachak and Chony Wenpaserth - before strikes from Singapore substitutes Glenn Kweh in the 89th minute and Emaviwe put the Young Lions level."I was so hysterical and couldn't control my feelings. I wanted to celebrate, I wanted to be there, and that's why I went onto the field ... I am very proud of the boys," he said.
Minutes later, Zaiful was called into action once again as Chony played in Phoutthavong Sangvilay, only for the Singapore goalkeeper to save well with his feet. Largely starved of service in the first half, striker Zikos Chua's pass was collected smartly by Ryhan Stewart, but the resultant shot was blocked.
Singapore came close to grabbing a consolation late on, but Khairin Nadim's shot was pushed away after good work from Kweh.
Congratulations 👏
