Prabowo hails Indonesia's historic victory at the 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup

Indonesia secured the inaugural Fifa Asean Cup 2026 title by defeating Thailand 4-2 on penalties following a 2-2 draw at Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) Stadium in Jakarta. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and Fifa President Gianni Infantino were present to witness the historic victory. Both sides entered the match level on 0-0 after an intense opening half, neither team managing to break the deadlock.

Indonesia had a chance in the 69th minute, but Mitchell Baker's shot missed the left post. Thailand's troubles worsened in the 81st minute when Nicholas Mickelson received a second yellow card for a foul on Ole Romeny. Indonesia took advantage of this in the 88th minute, with Dean James' free-kick hitting the crossbar after a deflection off Iklas Sanron.

The match went to extra time after Iklas equalised in the 87th minute with a finish from Seksan Ratree's delivery. Thailand briefly took the lead in the 111th minute through Peeradol Chamrasamee, but Indonesia regained the lead in the 116th minute, with Rizky Ridho's composed finish converting Elkan Baggott's cross. In the penalty shootout, Sarach Yooyen's third attempt by Thailand hit the post, while Nattapong Sayriya's fourth shot was saved by Indonesian goalkeeper Emil Audero.

These final efforts allowed Indonesia to claim their first Asean Cup title. Earlier, Malaysia claimed third place after defeating Vietnam 1-0 in the third-place playoff.
