SINGAPORE — Singapore kicked off their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign with a 2-1 win over Guam at the National Stadium on Thursday (Oct 12).

First-half goals from Christopher van Huizen and Jacob Mahler put the Lions ahead before Jason Cunliffe pulled one back for the visitors late on.

After piling on pressure for much of the first half with a series of chances, Singapore took the lead in the 35th minute with a stunning strike from Van Huizen from the edge of the box. It was his first international goal. Takayuki Nishigaya's men could not find another goal in added time, and they will rue their missed opportunities as they head to Guam for the second leg of the tie on Oct 17.
