KORAT (10 November 2024) – Indonesia romped to their second ASEAN Futsal Championship crown after beating Vietnam 2-0 in the final this evening.
After beating defending champions and 16-time winner Thailand in the semifinals, Indonesia were in full confident mode as Muhammad Syaifullah put them ahead with a close finish in the eighth minute.
With just that one-goal advantage at halftime, Vietnam tried to draw level but conceded a second goal through Muhammad Rizki Xavier with a minute left on the clock.
The win gave Indonesia their second ASEAN Futsal crown after winning it for the first time in 2010 in Vietnam.
In the meantime, host Thailand had to settle for the third spot after beating Australia 4-0 in the classification match.
Peerapat Kaewwilai grabbed the opener in the sixth minute to be followed by two goals from Thanawat Koedbangrachan (in the 17th and 19th minute) and then another from Amarin Akapan (36th).
