Thailand confirm progression, defeat Malaysia 3-0
Two second-half goals helped seal Thailandโs spot in the final four of the 2025 Asia-Oceania Cup, accounting for Malaysia 3-0 in Solo.
Just as the first half looked to be ending goalless, a Chanathip Deeman strike was not fully dealt with by goalkeeper Firdaus Bakar, with Abdullah Samat putting the ball into his own net in his attempts to clear.
A clever free-kick from Deeman, aided by the ball bouncing off the back of Bakar, helped make it two, before Narongchai Thaohong notched his first of the tournament to seal the win, firing in at the near post.
Thailand will play Iran to finish their group stage campaign, while South Korea await Malaysia.
