The Indonesian U22 team won the 32nd SEA Games championship after defeating rival Thailand in the final with a score of 5-2 in an incredibly dramatic match.
Thailand reduced the score to 1-2 in the 65th minute. Striker Anan had a powerful header, hitting the net of goalkeeper Ernando. The score lasted until 90+9, the team of the land of golden pagodas had an equalizer 2-2. Player Yotsakorn had a decisive and dangerous shot, bringing the match back to the starting line.
It is worth mentioning that before Yotsakorn scored, the entire coaching staff and Indonesian players stood up and ran out to celebrate the victory when the referee's whistle blew because they thought the match was over, but it was a penalty kick against Indonesia and led to Thailand's equalizer.

In the first extra time, Indonesia continued to be the team to score, leading 3-2. The scorer this time was Irfan Jauhari with an extremely technical chip. The drama of the match reached its climax, Thailand had 2 players sent off in the first extra time, goalkeeper Soponvit and defender Jonathan. The advantage of playing with more players helped Indonesia score 2 more goals in the second extra time. The scorers were Fajar and Beckham.
Indonesia’s 32-year wait for the championship would have been more complete if both teams had not left an extremely ugly image on the biggest sporting event in the region. Indonesia and Thailand continuously provoked, attacked, and fought on the coaching bench and on the field, creating chaos, making the security forces work extremely hard. The 5 red cards and 12 yellow cards the referee issued in this match reflected that.
Previously, in the bronze medal match, the U22 Vietnam team easily defeated Myanmar with a score of 3-1.
