The Young Socceroos have made it three wins from three at the AFF U-18 Championship after defeating Thailand 3-1 on Sunday evening AEST.
A double from Dylan Ruiz-Diaz, of Central Coast Mariners, stole the show for Gary van Egmond's side, with the attacker notching a second half brace.
Western Sydney Wanderers academy star Jarrod Carluccio was the other goal scorer for Australia, while Thailand pulled a goal back late via Natcha Promsomboon.
