Full time. Thailand won 1-0 against Malaysia, thereby taking the lead in Group A - ASEAN Cup 2024. The second half had 11 minutes of extra time. Minute 88: Thai players continuously lay on the field. They also held the ball and played slowly to "lull" the opponent. Minute 76: After the opening goal, Thailand slowed down and retreated deep to defend. The Golden Temple team almost wanted to preserve the score when they did not attack much. Meanwhile, Malaysia could not make a difference despite having more possession of the ball. Minute 67: Missed!!!! Endrick shot dangerously from afar but the Thai goalkeeper made an excellent save to save the home team. Minute 57: Goal!!! Thailand opened the score.

Minute 50: Malaysia was awarded two consecutive corner kicks but could not capitalize on them. Minute 46: The second half began. The first half ended. Thailand and Malaysia were tied at 0-0. Minute 43: Thailand was still struggling to get to the opponent's goal. Malaysia's defenders retreated back to their own field very quickly whenever Thailand had the ball. Minute 33: In the past few minutes, Malaysia played better to balance the ball possession ratio. However, they need to be precise in their passes in front of the opponent's goal. Minute 28: Thailand played more aggressively but still could not make a difference against Malaysia. They still need more sudden situations or smoother coordination from the central area.

Pre-match information In the third round of the 2024 ASEAN Cup group stage, Thailand will host Malaysia at home. This is a huge advantage for the Golden Temple team. Currently, Malaysia is temporarily leading the rankings after 2 matches. The "Malaysian Tigers" drew 2-2 with Cambodia and defeated Timor Leste with a narrow score of 3-2. Meanwhile, Thailand has only played 1 match, got 3 points after a 10-0 victory over Timor Leste and ranked second in the group. Therefore, they have a chance to dethrone Malaysia if they overcome this opponent in the upcoming direct match. At this time, Thailand is rated much higher than Malaysia. Their strength comes from young players such as Suphanat, Benjamin Davis, Supachok, Patrik... even though Chanathip, Theerathon or Dangda are no longer available... On the other side, the Malaysian team has a big problem when 6 players in the main squad have to return to their home clubs and will not continue to participate in the ASEAN Cup. This forced coach Pau Marti Vicente to make many personnel and tactical adjustments, but did not bring much hope. Facing Thailand in this match is a huge challenge for Malaysia. Not many people think of a positive result for Pau Marti Vicente and his team, because the Golden Temple team will keep 3 points at home at all costs.
