Thailand are through to the ASEAN Championship final but only after producing an almighty effort to get past Philippines.

Thailand will face Vietnam in the final of the Asean Championship after Suphanat Mueanta's extra-time header earned the defending champions a 3-1 win over the Philippines in Bangkok on Monday to register a 4-3 aggregate victory.

The Philippine men’s football team’s dream of getting to the Asean Mitsubishi Electric Cup final for the first time at the expense of defending champion Thailand was shattered Monday after going down 3-1 in the second leg that went into extra time at Bangkok’s Rajamangala Stadium for a 4-3 defeat on aggregate.

After securing their spot in the 2024 ASEAN Cup final with a victory over Singapore, Vietnam defender Bui Tien Dung expressed his desire to face Thailand rather than the Philippines in the title match.
