SINGAPORE: The Lions were eliminated from the FIFA ASEAN Cup on Thursday (Oct 1) after Malaysia handed them a 6-0 thrashing.

Bergson da Silva put Malaysia in front from the spot after just eight minutes, before Manuel Hidalgo juked past several defenders to allow Stuart Wilkin to drive the second goal home in the 26th minute.

Bergson would score the third goal in the 62nd minute, and Paulo Josue thumped in the fourth in the 76th.

Syahir Bashah then grabbed the fifth in the 87th minute before Bergson completed his hat-trick with the sixth in the third minute of added time, sealing the Lions' fate.

Singapore lost to Indonesia 2-0 and beat Bangladesh 1-0 earlier in the tournament and bowed out in third place in Group A with three points.
