Singapore's campaign in the ASEAN Championship came to an end on Wednesday following a semi-final exit at the hands of Thailand. While the Lions impressed in their second leg meeting, claiming a 2-1 victory, it proved insufficient to overturn Thailand's advantage from the first fixture.
The aggregate scoreline of 4-3 in Thailand's favour meant Singapore's strong second-leg showing could not rescue their tournament hopes. The result sees the Southeast Asian nation eliminated from the competition's penultimate stage.
Thailand advances to the championship final on the back of the narrow aggregate win, while Singapore must regroup and focus on upcoming fixtures in their ASEAN qualification campaign. The semi-final loss marks the end of a competitive run for the national squad in this year's regional tournament.
