The disappointment extended beyond the matches as fans turned to social media to vent their frustration after the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) announced that tickets were fully snapped up for both games.
SINGAPORE — The Lions’ inability to secure a win in their friendly matches against Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, ending in a 2-2 and 1-1 draws, respectively, was likely frustrating for both the fans and the Singapore national football team head coach, Takayuki Nishigaya.
Fans unable to purchase a ticket for the Papua match could only rely on the match highlights, as FAS did not provide a livestream for the first game. However, FAS made amends in the subsequent match by providing a livestream with commentary for the Solomon encounter on Jun 18. Ati Keo cancelled Adam Swandi’s opener in the 23rd minute in the 42nd minute. Singapore regained their lead just before the half-time interval courtesy of Shawal Anuar but an error by Shakir Hamzah allowed Raymond Gunemba to level the score to 2-2 in the 45th minute. The score remained the same until the full-time whistle.
Naturally, some quarters may be unhappy, especially considering that our causeway rival Malaysia had comfortably defeated Solomon 4-1 just a week ago. However, one must question whether coach Nishigaya’s objectives for these two friendly matches have been achieved.
