SINGAPORE, Dec 25 (Reuters): Four-time champions Singapore came from a goal down to make a winning start to their challenge for the 2022 Asean Championship with a 3-2 win over Myanmar at Jalan Besar Stadium on Friday night (Dec 24).

Shawal Anuar hit the winner for the Singaporeans, who last secured the title in 2012, 16 minutes from time in the Group B clash after Maung Maung Lwin's 34th minute opener was cancelled out by Ilhan Fandi's header on the stroke of halftime.
