Thailand Wins 2020 AFF Cup, Draws 2-2 With Garuda in Last Match

jpnn.com, SINGAPORE - The Thai national soccer team won the 2020 AFF Cup after a 2-2 draw with Indonesia in the second leg of the finals at the National Stadium, Singapore, Saturday (1/1) night.

The Indonesian Garuda squad lost 2-6 on aggregate.

This final result did not meet the expectations of the Indonesian fans, considering the Garuda squad played quite well at the beginning.

Indonesia immediately kicked off, appearing calmer but directly oriented to the penalty box.

A quick attack from Ramai Rumakiek on the right side of the Thai defense made the gap open. Ramai rolled the ball, which was forwarded to Kambuaya. The force of his kick kept the ball sliding towards the goal. In the 7th minute, Indonesia was leading with a score of 1-0.

It made the Garuda squad more insistent on pursuing additional goals. An opportunity was generated by Ramai in the 21st minute, but his shot went sideway.

The touch between Indonesian players looked neat and made it difficult for Thailand. Unfortunately, despite repeatedly getting opportunities, Indonesia failed to score an additional goal.

Thailand had a golden opportunity made by Teerasil Dangdut in the 45th minute, but the ball soared over the Indonesian goalpost.
