Aide's men face do-or-die clash

SINGAPORE'S SEA Games football team will face a must-win clash against Indonesia in their final Group A match at the Jalan Besar Stadium tomorrow in order to make the semi-finals of the tournament.

Indonesia clinched a comfortable 2-0 victory against the Philippines at the same venue last night, putting them level with Singapore on six points but ahead with a superior goal difference.

A double from midfielder Evan Dimas in the third and 13th minute was enough for the Indonesians to seal victory.

This leaves Aide Iskandar's men with no choice but to win.

In Group B, Laos beat Timor Leste 3-2.

The duo overcame Vietnam's Ngo Thi Huyen Tran and Tran Thach Lam 13-4.

Thailand's win meant they equalled their haul at the 2013 Games in Myanmar.
