Thailand reach Suzuki Cup final

Thailand moved a step closer to ending a 10-year Asean title drought when they reached the AFF Suzuki Cup final by beating defending champion Malaysia 2-0 for a 3-1 aggregate win on Thursday night.

After a 1-1 draw in Malaysia in the first leg of their semi-final Thailand advanced to the final thanks to goals from in-form striker Teerasil Dangda in the 60th minute and defender Teerathorn Bunmathan five minutes later in the return leg at a packed Supachalasai stadium.
