Brilliant 4/5min spell of possession & great skill from @FALebanon gives them the lead, stretching Singapore. Lovely play

Reactions after the first half:

Dominant, impressive first half from Lebanon. 1-0 up. Looking very sharp on the ball, getting plenty of joy wide, just need to convert that dominance. Haidar, Ayass, Matar, Ataya all influential @FALebanon #SINLEB

Easy to see why Lebanon are up to 100 on the fifa rankings & continuing to climb on the way to the Asian Cup. Some impressive flair, organised & flowing football #SINLEB

@FALebanon Singapore 0 Lebanon 1 HT. Plenty of evidence of how far Lebanon have come in last four years. Lions not out of it yet but Cedars so quick on break.

Reactions after the second half :

Fair credit to Singapore who've had a proper go in the 2nd half while Lebanon have made a succession of subs which has halted their momentum #SINLEB

Very good hit out for @FALebanon ahead of the Hong Kong @afcasiancup qualifier. Tested squad depth, showed they have plenty of quality, lively first half, pushed 2nd half, held firm #SINLEB #YallaLebnen

Maybe just maybe if we carry on like this we could do something in Asia 2019 and possibly do a Greece 2004 👍🏼

Keep building, bit by bit, so much quality across an ever improving Asia, getting hotter & harder, great depth, so keep chipping away 👊🇱🇧⚽️

transitions and passing were good but the midfield was very weak with us hoofing the ball forwards a lot and getting shut down in the box.

Bar our finishing this was a solid match for Lebanon. Football was fluid & our players were linking up well. I'm loving this new Lebanon team! ❤
