On the evening of December 17, the Thai team had an emotional comeback with a score of 4-2 against Singapore, thereby winning the top spot in Group A, ASEAN Cup 2024.
Thus, the War Elephants have secured a ticket to the semi-finals as the top team in Group A. They have one more match in the group stage against Cambodia on December 20, before competing in the semi-finals on December 27 and 30, 2024.
The opponent of coach Masatada Ishii and his team in the next round will be the second team in Group B.
As for Singapore, they will face Malaysia in the decisive match of the final match on December 20. An almost certain victory will take Singapore or Malaysia to the semi-finals.
Cambodia still has a chance to continue but no longer has the right to decide for themselves. They had to beat Thailand in the final match, while waiting for Malaysia not to lose to Singapore.
However, considering the not-so-good goal difference, it is impossible for Cambodia to squeeze through the narrow door in Group A. Moreover, the task of defeating Thailand is not easy.
