After a surprising 1-2 defeat to the Philippines in the first leg of the semi-finals, the Thai team will return home to welcome their opponents in the second leg of the ASEAN Cup 2024 semi-finals.
This result is clearly disadvantageous for the team from the Land of the Golden Temples. If they want to make it to the final, coach Ishii's team needs a victory with a difference of 2 goals (3-1, 2-0, 4-2...) or more against the Philippines.
In case the "War Elephants" only defeat their opponent by 1 goal (1-0, 2-1, 3-2...), then the two teams are tied in terms of total score and must enter extra time to determine the winner.
If they draw or lose to the Philippines, Suphanat and his teammates will officially stop at the semi-finals of the ASEAN Cup 2024.
Returning home, Thailand will be energized by thousands of fans. This is the motivation for the Golden Temple team to turn the situation around and reach the final.
To do this, Mr. Ishii's students need to make the most of their opportunities. Previously, in the first leg, captain Akirapong had missed 4 good opportunities. That was also the reason why they "fell off the horse".
On the other side, "The Azkals" are predicted to face many difficulties when playing away. However, this team is determined to repeat the miracle against the Thais to make it to the final.
The match between Thailand and the Philippines takes place at 8:00 p.m. today (December 30).
