Sri Lanka cruise; Jordan, Syria share spoils
Kuala Lumpur: Sri Lanka scored an impressive 3-0 victory over Seychelles while Jordan and Syria settled for a 1-1 draw in international friendly action on Sunday.
China PR, meanwhile, suffered a 3-0 defeat against New Zealand in Chongqing.

Seychelles 0-3 Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka finished their international window on a high with Adhavan Rajamohan striking twice in a convincing victory at Stade Linite in Victoria.

Rajamohan broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage time before doubling Sri Lanka's advantage seven minutes after the restart.

Dillon De Silva then completed the scoring in the 76th minute as Sri Lanka comfortably saw out the remainder of the contest.
Jordan 1-1 Syria
Jordan had to settle for a share of the spoils against Syria at the King Abdullah II Stadium in Amman as part of the sides' preparations for the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027™. 


Jordan took the lead in the 27th minute through Ali Olwan, who found the back of the net with an effort from outside the penalty area.

Syria responded six minutes after the restart, Jan Mustafa breaking through one-on-one before beating the Jordanian goalkeeper to draw his side level.
China PR 0-3 New Zealand
New Zealand took the lead in the fourth minute when Callum McCowatt sent a low cross from the left into the path of Tyler Bindon, who surged into the box and finished first time.

The All Whites doubled the lead in the 29th minute. After collecting a pass from McCowatt, Elijah Just combined with a teammate to break through China PR's defence before advancing into the penalty area and cutting the ball back. Ben Waine lost his marker and slotted home.

The tempo dropped after the interval as both sides made a series of substitutions, but New Zealand added a third in the 82nd minute.

After an attack down the flank, China PR blocked the initial cross but failed to clear the danger, allowing Owen Parker-Price to head home from close range.
