In the first leg of the semi-final, Thailand lost 1-2 to the Philippines away at Rizal Memorial. The Thai team felt dissatisfied with this defeat, blaming the artificial turf for the players' poor performance. Thailand affirmed that they would "make mincemeat" of the Philippines in the second leg. Before this match, Thairath newspaper of Thailand also called on everyone to "wash their eyes" and wait to see Thailand torment the Philippines in the second leg. Defender Chalermsak Aukkee also boldly declared that he would make the Philippines cry again, but this time "cry with hatred". Chalermsak Aukkee told the Thai press: "I remember that in the match we lost at Rizal Memorial, the Philippines were so happy that they cried. And in this match, they will cry again because we will prevent them from reaching the final". But saying is one thing, whether they can do it or not is another. Defeating the Philippines is not an easy task, especially when they are in high spirits after their historic victory in Manila. However, experts still rate Thailand higher in this match. Because they have a stronger squad and will play at home. Meanwhile, the Philippines has lost every time they have played away at Thailand. In fact, in the last 4 times they had to play at Thailand's stadium, the Philippines conceded a total of 13 goals, and lost by 2 goals or more each match.
