RELATED: Suzuki Cup: Lions edge out Azkals to reach fourth final

Malaysia's hopes of defending the AFF Suzuki Cup title ended on Thursday after they fell to a 2-0 loss to Thailand and were eliminated from the semi-finals 3-1 on aggregate.

After both sides played out a 1-1 first-leg draw in Kuala Lumpur at the weekend, Harimau Malaya were dealt a real blow shortly before the break when Fadhli Shas was sent off for a second bookable offence after a confrontation with Datsakorn Thonglao.

And with the numerical advantage, Thailand went on to grab the win thanks to goals from Teerasil Dangda and Theerathon Bunmathan and, in the process, kept alive their hopes of winning Southeast Asia's premier international tournament for the first time in ten years.
