Today has been another exciting journey for the lions after successfully defending the title. Singapore is once again being crowned the ASEAN CHAMPION XD
BANGKOK : Defending champions Singapore won the Asean Football Championship final on Sunday after a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Thailand for a 3-2 aggregate win.
Singapore came into the game with a 2-1 advantage from the controversial opening leg on Wednesday which was marred when Thailand stormed off the pitch for 15 minutes over a hotly-disputed penalty.
Thailand had the best of the match on Sunday and looked on target to make amends with a 37th minute goal from Pipat Thonkanya handing them the lead on the night and drawing them level 2-2 on aggregate.
But against the run of play, Singapore substitute Khairul Amri silenced the 30,000-strong Thai crowd with a right foot rocket past Thai goalkeeper Kittisak Rawangpa in the 81st minute to hand them the title
