SINGAPORE RETAINS CROWN

The score at the end of the second leg, final here tonight at the Stadium Supachalasai in Bangkok was 1-1 which was enough to give the defending champions their second title in two editions following their slim 2-1 win in the first leg.

And tonight, in spite of them trailing by a goal when Pipat Thonkanya gave the homesters the lead in the 36th minute, young Khairul Amri was on target six minutes to the end for the victory.
