Singapore take the lead in the blink of an eye!!
Another corner for Singapore on the right flank, and Nakamura struts over to take it. He floats a ball towards the far corner, finding Baharudin. However, the centre back's header is weak and does not trouble Mitul.
You can't give Ikhsan Fandi any space at the top! The striker finds a shooting chance and pulls the trigger from outside the box. However, luckily for Bangladesh, it's straight at Mitul, who blocks the shot with his body. Ikhsan then commits a foul, bringing the attack to an end.
Best chance of the night, and it falls to Bangladesh. After a good bit of one-two on the right, Saad Uddin plays a brilliant cross into the box. It finds Shamit Shome, completely unmarked. The Canada-born player gets a header, but it flies over the crossbar.
Bangladesh have been the better side in the opening stages of the match. However, Singapore launch a counter down the left flank, and a cross almost finds the head of Stewart after a slight deflection off the defender. Luckily for the Tigers, the cross is a bit too heavy.
Singapore win the first corner of the night. The delivery towards the far post is cleared just about by Saad Uddin, but Baharudin keeps it alive. He attempts a corner from the left, but it's straight into the gloves of Mitul Marma.
The referee blows his whistle, and the match is underway at the National Stadium. Stay tuned for live updates!
