Singapore took a 1-0 lead at the end of the first quarter and added two more goals in the second quarter as the home side enjoyed a 3-1 lead at half time.

Singapore really dominated the second half with three goals in the third quarter and a further four goals in the fourth quarter.

Sri Lanka will take on Hong Kong in their next outing on Saturday (14).
