Malaysia and Thailand will face each other in the Semi-final 1st leg of the 2022-23 AFF Cup which will be broadcast live streaming on Saturday, January 07, 2023 at Bukit Jalil National Stadium Stadium, Kuala Lumpur. It is predicted that the match will be fierce because both teams are determined to gain positive capital in this first leg match.
Malaysia ranks 2nd in the final standings of group B for the 2022 AFF Cup. A 4-1 victory over Singapore in the last round of the group stage made the Harimau Malaya team qualify for the semifinals as runners-up with a total of 9 points, losing 1 point to Vietnam who became group winners and will face Indonesia in the semifinals.
Kim Pan-gon’s troops played all out to get 3 points in a life-and-death match that took place at the Bukit Jalil Stadium on January 3. Thanks to the hard struggle, Malaysia finally won 4 goals through Stuart Wilkin (2 goals), Darren Lok and Sergio Fabian Ezequiel Agüero each contributing 1 goal.
Meanwhile, the Thai national team won group A in the 2022 AFF Cup after going through a great battle against Indonesia in the last game. Thailand and Indonesia both collected 10 points, but the War Elephant troops won 2 goals more from the 4 matches played.
Thailand almost lost to team Garuda after trailing 1-0 early in the second half. Especially in the 62nd minute, the referee gave a red card to Sanrawat Dechmitr so that the War Elephant’s condition was quite vulnerable. However, thanks to experience and consistent play, the defending champion of the 2020 AFF Cup finally equalized the score in the 79th minute which was scored by Sarach Yooyen.
In the first leg of the 2022 AFF Cup semifinals, Malaysia will play in front of its supporters. Harimau Malaya must put this momentum to good use in order to quickly achieve positive results as capital for an away match at the Thai headquarters in the second leg later.
Despite their status as defending champions, Alexandre Polking’s troops were haunted by a bad record against Malaysia. From the available statistics, Malaysia is unbeaten in the last 6 meetings against Thailand.
The last head-to-head meeting in the King’s Cup tournament which was held at the Venue 700th Anniversary Stadium, Chiang Mai in September 2022, Malaysia and Thailand drew with a score of 1-1.
