Thailand regrouped in the second half but it was Malaysia who went in front after 58 minutes when Safiq Rahim's 25-yard free-kick beat Kawin. Malaysia would have lifted the trophy with that scoreline. However, the Thaids staged a fightback and threw everything at Malaysia. Their attempted were rewarded in the 82nd minute when goalkeeper Farizal Marlias could only block a Sarach Yooyen free-kick and Charyl Chappuis calmly served the loose ball into the back of the net. Chanathip Songkrasin put the tie beyond any doubt with a strike four minuted from time. Chanathip was named the best player of the tournament. The champions got US$200,000 and the runners-up US$75,000.
