Thailand suffer Cup heartbreak

The European side had Mikael Forssell to thank for a victory after the former Chelsea striker grabbed a brace to help his team book a berth in Saturday’s final against Sweden, who defeated North Korea on penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in the first match on the day.
The result meant the hosts, whose last victory in the country’s most prestigious tournament came six years ago, would face the Koreans in the third-place playoff due to be played ahead of the showdown between the two Scandinavian rivals.
