That's it from us today. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for our coverage of this game, and all Indian football transfers and news updates. For now, this is a very pleased Aaditya Narayan saying goodbye. I'm off for a celebratory biryani, you should probably go, too.

FULL TIME: India 1-0 Thailand

That's India's second straight win over Thailand. Igor Stimac's first win as India coach. A clean sheet for the defence. Adil Khan superb at the heart of the defence. Rahul Bheke settled down after being pushed back to his natural right-back position. Some serious positives for India out of this tournament. Next, the Intercontinental Cup in Ahmedabad next month.

90+4' PEEEEEPPPP!!! INDIA SEAL THIRD PLACE AT THE KING'S CUP

90+4' Thailand throw everything at India, but there's no quality as Thithiphan overhits a pass towards Tristan.

90+2' Theerathon's corner is deep, but Pansa's header is wide.

90+1' How have India survived that? Lovely cross from Theerathon, Amrinder's come out to collect and got nowhere near. Teerasil has got the header, but he's hit it straight at Amrinder. Thailand have a corner!

90' 4 minutes of added time at the end of the game.

89' Just wide! Beautiful ball from Theerathon, and that's a free header in the six-yard box for Peeradol, but he's not got any connection on it. And it's gone wide.

87' Adil to the rescue once again! A long ball from the back is headed down towards Supachai by Teerasil, but Adil is in the way, and he's got just enough on that tackle.

87' Adil is booked for time-wasting

86' Theerathon's corner, Sahal has inexplicably left that alone and Jhingan has cleared that!

85' Thailand have a corner, Theerathon's cross blocked again, this time by Thapa.

83' Long shot from Sumanya again! He's scuffed it again. Amrinder has no problem again.

82' Sumanya's cross. Bheke's block. Thailand have a corner.

81' Sahal goes for goal! That lacks power though, and Sirawak has an easy catch.

80' India have a free-kick in a dangerous position, possibly shooting range, as Amarjit is fouled after a neat piece of footwork.

77' India have a free-kick in a dangerous position after Pansa shoves Manvir in the back.

76' Big chance for India! It was almost a 5-on-2 situation, but that cross from Thapa was in-between Manvir and Jacki, and India had no conviction on the counter-attack.

75' India SUBSTITUTION

ON - Sahal Abdul Samad
OFF - Raynier Fernandes

75' Supachai receives it from Theerathon and then takes a shot, despite having Supachak on the run. The shot has gone wide.

74' India are going to have to ensure they don't fall deeper and deeper as this game wears on, and the Thais throwing everything at the Blue Tigers.

69' ALMOST 2-0! Theerathon with a weak ball back to the goalkeeper Siwarak, Manvir has closed him down, and as Suphan tried to clear that off the line, he's smashed his knees onto the post.

68' Manvir's hold-up play again takes India up the pitch, and India have a throw as Adisorn has to clear with Jacki lurking.

67' Tristan with a superb low cross looking for Teerasil, but it's just away from the captain, and Amrinder can claim.

66' Sumanya with lovely play! He's shown Subhasish a clean pair of heals before trying to find Supachai in the six-yard box, but Jhingan steps in and clears.

64' Thapa! Lovely ball into space from Raynier, and Thapa has driven forward with it, and as it opened up, got in a shot, but he scuffed it and it's gone wide. Jacki was making a run down the right, but Thapa chose to ignore that.

64' Awful take from Sumanya, who hits it far too deep, and Subhasish can leave it alone at the far-post. India have a goal-kick.

63' Free-kick for Thailand, after Sumanya is fouled by an agricultural mow from Bheke

61' Chance for Teerasil! Supachak with a lovely cross from the left towards Teerasil in the far post, and that header is fortunately straight at Amrinder.

60' Deflection! Supachak with an attempted curler after cutting in from the left, but Adil's in the way, and luckily with Amrinder wrong-footed, the ball has gone wide off the post.

58' Theerathon's corner is better and the clearance from Subhasish is weak. Supachai takes a shot and that's blocked by Bheke! Big block

58' Theerathon's corner is cleared away by Adil. Theerathon puts the ball back into the box, and that's cleared behind for a corner by Adil again!

57' Amrinder's on the ground after taking a blow to the head from Adil, while that clearance was being made.

56' India make their second change

ON - Jackichand Singh
OFF - Farukh Choudhary

55' Oooh, that's close! Low cross from Tristan, and that's cleared by Adil from in front of Amrinder.

53' Thithiphan with a shot from distance, but he's scuffed his left-footed shot and Amrinder has no problem.

52' Lovely tracking back from Farukh. He intercepts the throw-in, and then wins a throw for India with good play under pressure

52' Another very threatening delivery from Thapa, with Adil attacking it, but he's fouled his marker. Thailand have a clearing free-kick.

51' India make their first change

ON - Manvir Singh
OFF - Balwant Singh

50' Free-kick for India on the left flank. Thapa with some neat footwork, and then draws the foul from Tristan

49' Farukh hits the post! He gets the ball around 25 yards from goal, and unleashes a left-footed shot, but with Sirawak beaten, it's come back out off the post. Balwant on the rebound skews his shot horribly.

48' Bheke with a nice interception on the right flank, and looks to find Balwant with an early ball, but it's blocked by Theerathon

46' Thithiphan's gone down, after Vinit catches him on the ankle in his follow-through

46' PEEEEPPPP!! India get us back underway, through Balwant

The players are back on the pitch in Buriram. Can India hold on?

HALF-TIME: India 1-0 Thailand

Anirudh Thapa gave India the lead. Adil Khan was everywhere, with one assist and several magnificent defensive contributions. Thailand have had the better of the half since India scored. Join us in a bit for the second half.

45+3' HALF-TIME! India go into the break with the lead, but they have survived by the skin of their teeth

45+2' What a huge chance! Farukh Choudhary has fluffed a big big chance to make it 2-0. He was one-on-one with Siwarak, and should have taken the shot, but instead he cut back and tried to pass it to Balwant, but he gets no power on the pass, and the Thai defence can clear. India really really should be 2-0 up.

45+1' ADIL KHAN MAGNIFICENT! Thithiphan finds Tristan in a superb position on the right, and he takes the shot, but it is superbly blocked by Adil, who has been a one-man defence.

45' Three minutes of injury time at the end of the first half.
