Time: 3:00PM
Venue: Thanh Long stadium
With an outstanding level, Changsuek players actively dominated the game during 90 minutes of the match.
Entering the match, the Thai people quickly mastered the game and pushed Singapore U18 to the home field. However, the young strikers of the 'War Elephants' proved unprofessional in finishing. This causes the first half to end without any goals.
In the second half, U18 Thailand changed its approach by taking a full-on attack. The opponent's overwhelming pressure caused the U18 Singapore to make mistakes, when letting Achitpol comfortably opened the scoring in the 50th minute.
Minutes later, the U18 Thailand was still in control of the posture and created dangerous defense. However, U18 Singapore took advantage of the last 10 minutes of the game to put pressure on the opponent. From a definite deflection of Thai defender, Danish Qayyum shot a superb ball over the goalkeeper Soponwit, equalizing 1-1 in the 84th minute.
