QF (2nd Leg): Bangkok stand firm to book ticket

Singapore: Bangkok United squeezed into the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League Two 2025/26™ on Thursday as a 2-2 draw with Tampines Rovers at Jalan Besar Stadium earned the Thai League 1 outfit a 4-3 aggregate quarter-final win.

Teerasil Danga’s 15th minute strike gave Bangkok United the perfect start as they built on their 2-1 victory from the first leg before Trent Buhagiar levelled in the 39th minute, only for Ilias Alhaft to restore his side’s advantage with three minutes left in the half.

That left Tampines Rovers needing to score two unanswered goals in the second half to take the tie to extra time and, although Koya Kazama levelled on the night with 19 minutes remaining, Bangkok United held on to progress.
