AFC Women's Champions League
First half goals from Ami Takeuchi and Miyu Inayama paved the way for Sailors to complete a hat-trick of wins to close out their campaign.
Having already confirmed their place in the Group Stage, Lion City Sailors rang in the changes with Singapore national goalkeeper Beatrice Tan and Nurhidayu Naszri coming into the starting lineup, while Sydushor made three replacements to the side that lost 3-1 to Jordan’s Etihad Club.
Sydushor endured a nervous start as Sailors’ Riari Kitaoka threatened in the eighth minute, dragging her effort wide of the left post following a short corner.
The Krygyz Republic side were overwhelmed a minute later when Miyu Inayama sent a delightful through ball for an unmarked Takeuchi who opened the scoring with a nutmeg finish past keeper Dilnura Abibulla.
Sailors came close to doubling their lead in the 17th minute when Inayama gained possession inside a packed box, only to see her effort parried away by a charging Abibulla.
Inayama showed her class in the 34th minute when she etched her name on the scoresheet with a neat dink over Abibulla.
Sailors maintained the intensity in the second half and increased their tally in the 63rd minute with Eri Kitagawa starting the move before Sarah Zu'risqha finished from inside the box.
