Bangkok: Thailand claimed AFF Futsal Championship 2013 after beating Australia 2-1 in the closely contested final held at the Bangkok Thonburi University on Sunday.
Suphawut Thueanklang scored a brace in the 13th and 36th minute as Jarrod Basgar’s 39th minute goal was not sufficient for the Futsalroos to prevent Thailand from winning their ninth ASEAN title.
The tournament also served as the ASEAN qualifiers for the 2014 AFC Futsal Championship and with Thailand and third-place finishers Vietnam qualifying automatically as runners-up and hosts respectively, places in next year's continental finals also went to fourth-placed Indonesia and fifth-placed Malaysia.
