LionsXII run riot

Remember 1993 scorelines such as Singapore 8 Brunei 0 or Singapore 7 Sabah 3?

Last night, LionsXII wrote themselves into the record books with a 9-0 massacre of Sabah.

While it remains highly unlikely that LionsXII will win the MSL title on their debut season -– ironically the 1993 Dream Team finished second in Division Two –- they can hold their heads high knowing they are history makers.

Such hunger and ruthlessness meant eight out of the 13 LionsXII outfield players who played last night were involved in creating or scoring the nine goals, making it a special occasion for the 6,289 fans.
