Thailand wins hard to reach the final of AFF Cup 2024
The Thai team lost 1-2 in the first leg of the semi-final on December 27. Therefore, in the second leg of the semi-final, the team from the land of the golden pagodas must have a difference of 2 goals or more to directly qualify for the final of the AFF Cup 2024. The "War Elephants" were very close to the door to continue when they led 2-0 after more than 80 minutes of play. However, the Philippine team unexpectedly reduced the score to 1-2 in the 84th minute. The total score was now 3-3, and the two teams had to enter 30 minutes of extra time.
After the first extra time with no goals scored, the Thai team played extremely well in the second extra time. Suphanat Mueanta, who came off the bench, knew how to shine at the right time, scoring a header in the 116th minute. This precious goal helped the "war elephants" win the final with a total score of 4-3 against the Philippines after 2 matches. Thus, the Thai team will face the Vietnamese team in the final of the AFF Cup 2024.
