At the Rajamangala Stadium, Harhys Stewart gave the Lions the lead going into half-time, before a Kakana Khamyok penalty in the second half levelled the scores on the night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Minutes later, a Pansa Hemviboon own goal again gave Singapore the lead, but Thailand held on until the final whistle.<\/p>\n
Lee said he was \u201cmassively proud\u201d of his team\u2019s performance, and that he felt it warranted the game going into extra time.<\/p>\n
\u201cFootball is cruel, over the two legs maybe we just fell short a little bit,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Despite the exit, the Lions gave their supporters reason to cheer as Tuesday\u2019s 2-1 victory is Singapore\u2019s first win over Thailand since 2012.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a group, we’re very clear with what we’re going to do in terms of building towards the Asian Cup, and I’m sure there will be bumps along the road \u2026 as we try to put ourselves against even stronger opposition,\u201d said Lee, who led the team last year to a historic qualification to the Asian Cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring those rough days that will come, I believe that this group of fans that have been backing us will continue to back us because that will be important for the boys.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey should know that we will never give up, we never give in, we just keep trying and trying and trying as we move towards our target.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
