Thailand became the champion of AFF Suzuki Cup 2014 despite losing 2-3 to Malaysia in the dramatic return leg in Malaysia on December 20.

Hosts Malaysia fought back from their 2-0 first-leg deficit to lead 3-0 on the
match.

However, their strong defence to keep the score intact was broken by Chappuis, who made a goal on the 82th minute and Chanathip on the 87 th minute giving Thailand a 4-3 aggregate win.

Nearly 90,000 supporters on the Jalil stadium hoped their home team will have pulled off another great escape after they overturned a 2-1 first-leg deficit in the semi-final against Vietnam by winning 4-2 in Hanoi but magic did not come this time./.
