Pinyaphat Klinklai pulled one back for Thailand in the dying minutes with a close range header.
The young Copper Queens put up an impressive run in the group stage, winning two matches and drawing one to finish second in Group A on seven points, level with Colombia but edged out on penalty shootout results.
