- On Thursday, Singapore's national football team, the Lions, suffered a 6-0 defeat against Malaysia at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium in Bandung, Indonesia, ending their FIFA ASEAN Cup campaign.

- SingaBrigade took to Instagram to issue "a warning," stating that "all 6 goals were amateurish" and calling the performance "unacceptable," demanding accountability from players.
- Head coach Gavin Lee responded to criticism, telling fans the team is "very disappointed to have that sort of an outcome" and promised better performances to regain trust.
