SINGAPORE: Underdogs Lion City Sailors booked their spot in the AFC Champions League Two final despite a 0-1 loss to Australian side Sydney FC on Wednesday (Apr 16).

The Sailors, ahead 2-0 after a stunning first leg upset last week, survived a late onslaught at the Allianz Stadium sparked by a Joe Lolley goal to notch a remarkable result for Singapore football.

Sydney are currently sixth in the top-tier A League, while the Sailors sit top of the Singapore Premier League.
