Portugal Perform
It was just a friendly, but straight defeats to the U-20 Portugal side did nothing to bolster the Singapore team. Paulo Chaves raced past Kwek Yeng Cheng in the fifth minute to nick the opener, with Uidemar Paulista scoring the second as Portugal barraged Singapore with a deluge of shots.
Of greatest concern to the national coach was the stretchering off of Quek Long Chao in the early stages, perhaps robbing the team of his services for the important U-20 qualifier against Kenya next Friday. Han Kok played perhaps his best game in the red and white, a small consolation.
