FIFA ASEAN Cup Final: Indonesia vs Thailand, Time and TV
Indonesia will play Thailand in the first FIFA ASEAN Cup final on Monday, Oct. 5. Kick-off is at 20:00 Jakarta time (13:00 UTC) at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, RRI reports.
Indonesia won Group A on goals scored. On Thursday they beat Bangladesh 9–2, with Mitchell Baker scoring five, while Malaysia beat Singapore 6–0. That left both sides on seven points with a goal difference of +9, and their 0–0 draw in the group could not separate them, so total goals decided it: 11 for Indonesia and nine for Malaysia, per the group table on Wikipedia. Thailand booked their place on Sept. 29 with wins over Pakistan (4–0) and Vietnam (2–0). They still play the Philippines on Oct. 2.
