The meeting between two teams who have won the title 11 times between them was always going to be fiery and Singapore got off to a dream start with Shawal Anuar putting them ahead in the 10th minute.

Faris Ramli doubled the home team's joy with their second in the 34th minute but it was short lived as Patrik Gustavsson reduced the deficit in first half stoppage time.

It was a revitalised Thailand who appeared for the second half and the seven-time champions drew level through Suphanat Muenta seven minutes into the restart.

Pansa Hemviboon thought he had put Thailand ahead with his effort in the 72nd minute but the goal was disallowed following a VAR review.

Thailand, however, kept pushing and were rewarded for their efforts with Peeradon Chamratsamee netting their third three minutes into time added on with Teerasak Poeiphimai capping the amazing comeback with his strike just before the final whistle.

Cambodia, needing a win to keep their hopes alive, found themselves trailing to Joao Pedro da Silva's 22nd minute opener.

The goal sparked a reaction from the hosts and they drew level through Sor Rotana three minutes before the break.

Hav Soknet struck the winner in the 79th minute as Cambodia moved up to third but having to defeat Thailand on Friday to stand a chance of advancing.
