Indonesia edge Thailand for AFF U-22 title
26th February 2019
Phnom Penh: Indonesia lifted the AFF U-22 Cup 2019 title after scoring a 1-0 win over Thailand in the final at the National Stadium in Phnom Penh on Tuesday.
Osvaldo Haay was the Indonesian hero,heading in a free-kick from Muhammad Luthfi Baharsyah in the 64th minute.
Thailand pushed up a gear as they desperately went in search of the equaliser and as Indonesia defended furiously, a bad tackle on Jedsadakorn saw captain Bagas Nugroho being given the red card by Vietnam referee Nguyen Hien Triet.
But even with a man less, Indonesia were just too determined to win their first silverware of the new year as Thailand had to be content with the runners-up spot.
