Thailand's title hopes in balance
Play
Thailand face an uphill task if they are to reclaim the Asean Championship title after slumping to a 3-1 loss away to Singapore in the first leg final at Jalan Besar stadium yesterday.
Unbeaten in their run to the final of the biennial tournament, the Thai side may have to pay high price for their first defeat as they now need to overcome a two-goal deficit when they host a return leg on Saturday at Supachalasai stadium.
A 2-0 win would be enough for the three-time champions Thailand to win the title that has eluded them since 2002 but if the Singaporeans, who also won the title three times, are able to score the Thais need to win by at least three goals.
