The final match took place with a tight formation from the beginning when both teams entered the game cautiously and actively competed fiercely in the midfield area. Indonesia was the team that created more pressure in the first half thanks to high-pressing play and the ability to change states quickly.
That advantage was concretized in the 16th minute when Andres Putra took advantage of a quick wing combination to finish close range, opening the score for Indonesia. However, early committing many general errors caused the island nation team to play more cautiously in the rest of the half.
When there were only 2 seconds left in the first half, Thailand was awarded a 10m free kick and Itticha successfully took advantage of the opportunity to score the equalizer 1-1, bringing the match back to balance before halftime.
In the second half, Thailand played more proactively and created many dangerous opportunities. After some regrettable missed opportunities, the turning point of the match came in the 32nd minute when Panut Kittipanuvong had a technical dribble before unleashing a powerful shot to increase the score to 2-1 for the home team.
In the final minutes, Indonesia switched to power-play tactics to find an equalizer. This team put great pressure on Thailand's goal and almost equalized in the 37th minute when Rahaman headed the ball into the crossbar. However, Indonesia's efforts were not effective.
In the end, Thailand won 2-1 to win the regional championship, continuing to affirm their leading position in the Southeast Asian futsal arena with another important title in the team's history.
