Singapore coach Radojko Avramovic paid tribute to Liverpool as the English giants crushed his team 5-0 in a Sunday evening exhibition.
The Lions put up a good show in the first half at the National Stadium but their resistance was broke just before the break thanks to Andriy Voronin.
The visitors went to town in the second half as Albert Riera, Fernando Torres and a brace from Krisztian Nemeth made it a 5-0 thrashing.
“In the first-half, we played as a team, stayed compact and did very well but in the second-half, fitness into play and the players couldn’t cope,” said Avramovic after the game.
“Plus, Liverpool have quality. They made a few changes, fresh players came in and caused problems down our left side.”
There were some positives for the hosts especially as 18-year-old Hariss Harun impressed.
“Hariss and Fahrudin controlled the area in front of our back four in the first-half.
“He has a good future ahead of him but he must learn and tonight was a good game for him to see what quality players do, especially in terms of receiving the ball, changing sides and passing.
“Younger players must look at the Liverpool players and try to play like them.”
