Teenager Danelle Tan became the youngest player to score for the Singapore women’s football team last night.

The forward, 14, converted an injury-time penalty when the Lionesses lost 2-1 to Timor Leste in their opening game of the Asean Football Federation Women’s Championship in Thailand.

Timor Leste had led 2-0 through Luselia Fernandes (59th) and Dolores Costa (73rd), before Danelle pulled one back on her senior competitive debut.

Singapore, who are 123rd in the Fifa world rankings, meet 39th-ranked Thailand tomorrow.
