Tue 19th Jan 2016Home WinThailand Victorious in the All Asia Cup On Saturday 16 January, the Final of this exciting tournament held at the VR Sports Club in Thailand, was played between home team Thailand and Indonesia. Both teams had flown through the qualifying stages, coming up against little opposition from the other teams in the tournament, and arriving to the Final unbeaten and ready to take on what would be their first real challenge. With the teams well matched it was set to be a good, even game and the fans gathered round to watch on and cheer their home team. They were not disappointed as Thailand took an early lead, dominating the game from the off and sealing the deal as the tournament favourites. Their aggressive attacking meant that the Indonesian side were on the defence from the off, but it was all in vain, goal after goal were clocked up by Thailand with only one in return as they neutralized the Indonesian offence. The final result was a convincing 7½-1 win for Thailand. Earlier in the day a three-way penalty shoot-out determined the third, fourth and fifth place with Malaysia, the Philippines and Brunei all in an equal position to claim the Subsidiary title. Third place went to the Philippines after scoring every one of their penalties put them above the Malaysian Tigers, fourth and Brunei, fifth. The day was replete with classic Asian glamour and spectacle as onlookers enjoyed acrobats, fire shows, horse parades and speeches as the formal presentation of the All Asia Cup was made. Not a day to be forgotten for Thailand, as they celebrated their home win with a huge gala dinner, musical shows and equine demonstrations. Photograph: Action from the All Asia Cup.
