Singapore lose 4-1 to 10-man China after controversial penalty in World Cup qualifier

Singapore gave China a scare before going down 4-1 in their World Cup qualifying match in Tianjin. The Lions had produced a heroic comeback in the first half, but were undone by a controversial penalty after the break. Even with China down to 10 men after a red card, the home side scored two more goals to leave Singapore stuck at the bottom of Group C with just one point. Singapore's remaining two matches are against South Korea and Thailand in June.
