Ben Davis comes back to haunt Singapore as Thailand claim ... (ESPN)

Thailand have claimed their first win at the 31st Southeast Asian Games with a crushing 5-0 rout of Singapore in Group B on Monday.

The result ensured the Thais bounced back from their opening loss to Malaysia on Saturday and move level at the top of Group B with them and Cambodia, who belatedly opened their campaign earlier on Monday with a 4-1 victory over Laos. The contest was effectively over in the 51st minute when the Thais capitalised on some indecisive defending to add a third through Ekanit Panya, who swept the ball home from close range after Worachit's cut-back was helped into his path by Patrik Gustavsson. Three minutes after the restart, Thailand doubled their lead when opposition defender Harhys Stewart -- in a bid to block a low cross by Worachit Kanitsribampen -- only managed to divert the ball into his own goal.

SEA Games: NS defaulter Ben Davis scores for Thailand in 5-0 ... (AsiaOne)

SINGAPORE - National Under-23 coach Nazri Nasir apologised to Singapore football fans after his charges were thumped 5-0 by Thailand in their SEA Games ...

Davis, born in Phuket to a Thai mother and an English father, had moved to Singapore with his family at age five before becoming a citizen four years later. “Tonight’s result is not ideal but we need (the fans’) support now more than ever for the next two crucial games. After Davis’ goal put the Thais in the driver’s seat, a shambolic start to the second half put paid to Singapore’s hopes of a comeback. The result left Singapore at the bottom of Group B after two games. They must now beat Malaysia and Cambodia in their remaining games and hope other results go their way, in order to claim one of the top two spots in the group and progress into the semi-finals. The result left the team’s hopes of a medal at the Hanoi SEA Games hanging by a thread.

Ex-Youth Footballer Ben Davis Scores Opening Goal For Thailand ... (Must Share News)

NS defaulter and ex-S'pore youth footballer player Ben Davis scored the opening goal as Thailand and S'pore U-23 teams met in the SEA Games.

Of course, this will also depend on the other teams’ performance. The result puts the Singapore team in a precarious spot as they’ll have to beat Malaysia and Cambodia in order to progress to the semi-finals. Born in Phuket, Davis migrated to Singapore at the age of five and even studied at the Singapore Sports School till 2015, when he left for the UK. He kept his goal celebration low-key, as he made a short run to the nearest corner flag before huddling with his teammates. Davis’ goal celebration was, however, relatively muted, as he made a short run to a corner flag before huddling with his teammates. On Monday (9 May), Davis, who now plays for Thailand, scored the opening goal as his team cruised to a 5-0 victory over Singapore’s under-23 (U-23) squad at the 31st SEA Games.
