Today (July 21), the final match of Group A of the 2025 U23 Southeast Asian Championship will take place.
The scenario of winning a ticket to the semi-finals in this group is quite complicated. Currently, U23 Indonesia is leading with 6 points, U23 Philippines and U23 Malaysia are in the next two positions with 3 points, respectively, while U23 Brunei is at the bottom of the table with no points.
Accordingly, in the final round, U23 Indonesia will face U23 Malaysia. With just a draw, the home team will enter the knockout round. On the contrary, U23 Malaysia of course needs a victory to be able to compete for the top spot or the second-placed team with the best results.
This is a simple story for the U23 Philippines when they only faced U23 Brunei, who were rated lower. 3 points is the goal that the Philippines is aiming for and waiting for U23 Malaysia to "fall off the horse".
