PETALING JAYA: Indonesia’s South Korean coach Shin Tae-yong said they “had to go from heaven to hell” before overcoming a depleted but tough Singaporean side in their AFF Suzuki Cup semi-final.

And he was absolutely right. The second leg in the Lion City was out of this world, given the drama and excitement created by the players, coaches, referees and the fans.
