Indonesia 4 - 0
Cambodia
Striker Budi Sudarsono blasted a hattrick against
Cambodia tonight at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium to sensationally
send hosts Indonesia into the semifinals of the AFF Suzuki Cup.
Indonesia's second straight win today, a convincing 4-0 victory
over Cambodia, has set the stage for a thrilling battle against
defending champions Singapore to determine the Group A
champion.
Despite winning tonight, Indonesia are second in the group
behind Singapore on an inferior goal difference. Emerging the group
winner is crucial as it means the likelihood of avoiding Thailand,
the other pre-tournament favourites, in the semifinals. The group
champs will also have the privelege of playing the first semifinal
tie away and the return leg at home.
While Indonesia and Singapore have booked the two semifinal
slots, Myanmar and Cambodia have come to the end of the road in
this year's tournament. The two teams will play their final group
match on Tuesday in Bandung, at stake will be their pride.
