According to the match schedule, Thailand will host the Philippines at Rajamangala Stadium in the second leg of the ASEAN Cup 2024 semi-finals.
Before that, the Golden Temple team caused a shock defeat in the first leg of the semi-finals. Sandro Reyes opened the scoring for the home team in the 21st minute. Then, Suphanan equalized for Thailand, before Kike Linares scored in the last minute of injury time to seal a 2-1 victory for the Philippines.
In fact, this is not a safe score for "The Azkals". They are predicted to face many difficulties when playing at Thailand's home ground. Coach Ishii and his team are determined to turn the game around with the support of thousands of home fans.
Previously, in the group stage, Thailand also made an impressive comeback against Singapore with a score of 4-2, even though the opponent had scored 2 opening goals in the first 30 minutes of the match. Therefore, fans of this country expect Suphanat and his teammates to bring home a favorable result to win a ticket to the final of the ASEAN Cup 2024.
In theory, the "War Elephants" will advance only if they win against the Philippines with a score difference of 2 goals or more (3-1, 4-1, 2-0).
The match between Thailand and the Philippines takes place at 8:00 p.m. today (December 30).
