HA NOI (VNS) — Thailand came from behind to beat Malaysia and enter the International U21 Football Tournament's final in Can Tho City yesterday.

Thailand walked away with a 4-2 victory after a penalty shootout in the second semi-final game.

Malaysia scored three goals in the first half, but Thailand levelled the count in the second half, forcing a shootout where all Thai players scored and two Malaysians missed.

Thailand will face Hoang Anh Gia Lai Arsenal JMG, which beat defending champion Viet Nam last Saturday, 4-3, in tomorrow final.

Earlier, the second-running Australian Sydney team failed to advance to the knock-out round. Malaysia's defeat means last year's top three teams have all been ousted. — VNS
