On Tuesday, January 10, Thailand will host Malaysia at Thammasat Stadium in the AFF Championship. The matchup is the semifinal second leg of the 14th edition of the AFF Championship, an ASEAN Football Federation-affiliated tournament. Faisal’s opening goal in the 11th minute at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur gave Malaysia a 1-0 victory in the fiercely contested first leg.
They may be able to swing the outcome in their favor with Changsuek hosting the return leg. With five championships, they are the most successful team in the Championship and the defending champions, having won the competition in 2020. However, Malaysia is frequently viewed as its foe.
They lost only to Vietnam in the group stage and finished second in Group B with nine points, behind leaders Vietnam. After defeating Thailand in the first leg of the semifinals, they are hoping for a fourth AFF Championship final, but that narrow victory might not guarantee their place in the final.
Coach Kim Pan-gon says that Harimau Malaya, who won the championship once in 2010, wants to improve its record in the Championship. However, it might be difficult for the visitors to maintain their one-goal advantage in Kuala Lumpur. It’s possible that the same rivals will engage in yet another thrilling game.
