BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (March 10, 2007) – Defending champion Thailand made their second final of the Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy in two years when they completely ran riot to thrash Cambodia 10-1 at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium tonight.

The score in the first half of the first semi-finals was 3-1 in favour of Thailand who took an early lead through Phonlawut Donehui in the third minute before Chan Chaya drew level for Cambodia in the 20th minute.

However, Anawin Jujeen (38th) and Wisoot Bunpeng (42nd) restored the advantage for the Thais as they head into the dressing room on a confident note.

The second half was all Thailand as Wisoot (46th and 57th), Naruphol Ar-Romsawa (53rd), Choklap Nilsang (55th), Anawin (66th), Sakarin Chanyotha (73rd) and Chainarong Tatong (79th) all got their name on the score sheet for the comprehensive victory.
