The result also means that Singapore’s faint hopes of reaching South Africa are officially dead.
The win was a good start to Nasser Al Johar’s return to the Saudi hotseat as Brazilian Helio Dos Anjos was fired earlier in the week.

Despite the best efforts of Singapore, the Saudis sealed the win with 14 minutes remaining.
Ahmed Al Fraidi’s fired a low shot into the net.
