Singapore gave themselves a lifeline in Bangkok after Harhys Stewart struck on the stroke of half-time to hand the Lions a 1-0 lead over Thailand in the second leg of their ASEAN Championship semi-final on Tuesday (Aug 18).The goal cut Thailand's aggregate advantage to 3-2 and changed the mood inside Rajamangala Stadium, leaving Gavin Lee's side needing just one more unanswered goal to force extra time.Heavy rain before kick-off had left the pitch slick and waterlogged in patches, while there were noticeable empty seats around the vast stadium as both sides settled into a cautious opening.Singapore quickly took control of possession and worked the ball forward with intent, particularly down the flanks, but struggled to find the decisive pass against a compact Thai defence.Thailand, meanwhile, were content to absorb pressure and break quickly, carrying the greater threat despite seeing less of the ball.The hosts nearly profited in the 19th minute when Patrik Gustavsson was released into space down the right and Izwan Mahbud rushed off his line to intervene. Gustavsson went to ground, but a VAR review found no foul.
