For a large part of the first half, Singapore was literally swimming against the tide with the Indians dominating much of the possession.
More spaces needed to be created to move the ball forward, and we have to be reminded that this is not a rugby match!
Song Ui-young's (file pictured) equaliser before the interval put the much-needed confidence back into the Lions.
The Lions midfield was struggling to hold up the home team, who were storming through the middle of the park. It was a question of whether Singapore could hang on to the lead after Song doubled his tally in the 58th minute.
Simply because too much space was given to India, which allowed them the flexibility to plan their movements to cocoon the visitors at their own half.
It wasn't easy when the Lions literally threw their bodies towards the end of the game to salvage this important 2-1 win over India, keeping the AFC Asian Cup qualifying campaign alive.
It's DO or DIE against Hong Kong next.
