The Indonesian men’s youth soccer team took home the gold medal in a dramatic SEA Games final match in Cambodia, on Tuesday, besting Thailand to end a 32-year wait to snag the region’s top prize.
The victory at Phnom Penh’s Olympic Stadium is expected to be a good omen for the nation’s soccer fans, who have had to wallow in disappointment after their national team was forced to abort a one-time opportunity to play in the FIFA U-20 World Cup last month.
The Young Garudas beat Thailand 5-2 in a thrilling 120- minute game that saw referee Qasim Matar Ali Al Hatmi dish out 16 yellow cards and seven red cards to players and members of the coaching staff, from both sides.

Nearly two weeks of triumphs, tears and the occasional tantrum will come to an end Wednesday when the Southeast Asian Games close in Cambodia, with Vietnam topping the final medals table. Women’s football gold capped a glittering Games for Vietnam, who reigned over the medals table to claim regional supremacy ahead of Thailand and Indonesia. Cambodia were fourth — the first time in four editions of the biennial Games that the hosts did not come top of the pile, but their 81 golds were a huge improvement for them on recent years

(UPDATE) JUSTIN Brownlee is a six-time champion with Barangay Ginebra in the PBA. He knew how it feels like to win all these championships amid the ups and downs of pro basketball.
Yet, the 6-foot-4 Gilas Pilipinas naturalized player ranked his latest Southeast Asian Games men’s basketball gold medal achievement “at the top” simply because he did for the millions of basketball-crazy Filipinos.

(UPDATE) CHOT Reyes is just glad to close his coaching career in the Southeast Asian Games men’s basketball with a gold medal.
Moments after steering the Philippines to a gold medal finish in the regional basketball tournament, the outspoken Gilas Pilipinas coach vowed “never to coach in the SEA Games anymore.”
“Well, win or lose, this was my last SEA Games. I promise I will never coach here in the SEA Games anymore. At least, I was able to go out with a gold medal,” Reyes told media men, moments after Gilas Pilipinas accomplished its mission of reclaiming the SEA Games men’s basketball gold with an 80-69 drubbing of host Cambodia on Tuesday night.
Reyes said the regional basketball games are supposed to be reserved for the developmental team, pointing to younger players from collegiate leagues, a practice the Philippines used to do in the past.
“It (national team) really has to be our younger players who are supposed to play here,” said the 59-year-old Reyes, who atoned for his silver medal finish with Gilas in last year’s edition in Hanoi, Vietnam with this gold medal triumph in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
