Earlier, Indonesia booked their place in the last four when they defeated Myanmar 5-0 while Singapore defeated Philippines 3-2.

Malaysia, after their stunning 3-0 win over Australia two days ago, were expected to secure their semi-final slot but were held 1-1 by Laos while hosts Thailand came from behind to hold Australia 1-1 as well.

In the group's third match of the day, Cambodia and Brunei Darussalam also settled for a 1-1 draw.

Thailand play Malaysia on Monday and with both on 10 points after four matches, a draw will take them through to the semi-finals. Australia, on seven points, will have to defeat Brunei Darussalam by a huge score and hope either Malaysia or Thailand lose.

Vietnam, however, remained within striking distance after defeating Myanmar to set up an exciting final group stage matchday on Sunday.

It was the Malaysians third straight win and took them closer to the semi-finals with hosts Thailand keeping pace as they recorded an emphatic 4-0 win over Cambodia to also reach nine points.

Laos, meanwhile, defeated Brunei Darussalam 3-0 to record their first win of the competition.

Vietnam, meanwhile, stayed in the hunt after snatching a late 1-0 win over Singapore, as did Myanmar who also edged Philippines 1-0.

Their lead, however, is only on goal difference as Australia and Thailand also recorded their second wins at the Institute of Physical Education in Chonburi, Thailand to ensure a thrilling tussle in Group B for the two semi-final spots.

Indonesia 3-0 Singapore

After defeating Vietnam 2-0 in their opening match, Indonesia continued their victorious march against Singapore. After coming close in the 16th minute when Kadek Arel Priyatna’s header from Marselino’s free-kick, screamed over the bar, Indonesia made up for the miss with their opening goal two minutes later.
