Indonesia came from behind to sneak a 2-1 victory over Thailand to send the Thais packing from the AFF Suzuki Cup.
Bryan Robson's Thailand looked poised to follow the already qualified Indonesians through to the semi-finals when Suree Sukha fired home a brilliant volley but the three-time ASEAN champions imploded thanks to late penalties conceded which Indonesia forward Bambang Pamungkas converted.
Former England skipper Robson rang the changes after his side's 0-0 stalemate with Malaysia in their second match with Suttinun Phukhom, Rangsan Vivatchaichok, Kirati Keawsombut and Naruphol Aromsawa replacing Suchao Nutnum, Sarayoot Chaikamdee, Sutee Suksomkit and Phichitphong Choeichiu.
Indonesia tactician Alfred Riedl drafted in Tony Sucipto, Muhamad Roby and Eka Ramdani with Firman Utina, Ahmad Bustomi and the injured Hamka Hamzah dropping out.
The Thais notched a precious goal in the 68th minute when Suree launched an unstoppable volley into the top corner after a knock down from Kirati.
The result would have enabled the Thais to progress to the last four but their hopes soon went up in smoke on 81 minutes when Indonesian forward Gonzales was hauled back in the box.
Up stepped Bambang, who coolly converted from the spot and into the bottom left corner.
It got much worse for the lethargic Thais a minute from time when Panupong Wongsa was penalized for handling Bambang's goal-bound shot and the latter produced a carbon copy effort, slotting home much to the delight of the Indonesian faithful.
The Thais will now head home in humiliation after Malaysia stole second spot following their 5-1 thumping of Laos.
