The FIFA ASEAN Cup match between Thailand and the Philippines ended with a score of 2-1 in favor of the Philippines, marking a significant upset in the tournament. The match was delayed for over 30 minutes due to lightning warnings and was played under heavy rain, creating challenging conditions for both teams.

Thailand, already qualified for the finals, opted to field a B team, which was quickly tested by the Philippines. Just three minutes into the match, Paul Tabinas made a swift run down the right flank, delivering a precise cross that allowed Kristensen to score the opening goal. This early lead boosted the confidence of the Philippine team, who created several opportunities to extend their advantage.

In the sixth minute, Thailand's Yodsangwal inadvertently set up another chance for Kristensen, but the forward's shot was too weak to beat goalkeeper Kampon. The Philippines continued to press, and in the 20th minute, a promising pass from Tabinas to Nishioka went begging as the latter failed to connect with the ball in front of an open goal.

Thailand struggled to create meaningful attacks in the first half, and the Philippines nearly doubled their lead before halftime, but a misplaced pass prevented them from capitalizing. After the break, Thailand's coach Anthony Hudson introduced Seksan Ratree, whose impact was felt immediately. In the 55th minute, Seksan provided a clever assist to Iklas, who scored with a beautiful curling shot.

However, Thailand's hopes of a comeback were short-lived. Just a few minutes later, Leipold executed a brilliant play, weaving through the defense before setting up Kristensen for his second goal of the match in the 68th minute. Despite bringing on key players like Nicholas Mickelson and Chanathip Songkrasin, Thailand was unable to find the net again.

With this result, Thailand will still advance to the finals of the FIFA ASEAN Cup, where they will face the host nation, Indonesia. The Philippines, on the other hand, concluded their campaign in third place in Group B.

The final score was Thailand 1, Philippines 2 (Halftime: 0-1). Goals were scored by Iklas (55', assist by Seksan) for Thailand and Kristensen (3', 68', assist by Leipold) for the Philippines.
