Thailand equalized in the dying seconds of the first half via Itticha Praphaphan's penalty, which goalkeeper Angga Ariansyah could not stop. The match was tense from the start, with chances from Indonesia's Guntur Ariwibowo and Thailand's Muhammad Osamanmusa.
In the second half, Thailand went ahead in the 31st minute with a powerful shot from Panut Kittipanuwong. Indonesia responded with Andarias Kareth's chance saved by goalkeeper Theerawat Kaewwilai, and a late power play that hit the post without scoring.
Despite the defeat, Indonesia's performance was praised for fielding a second-string squad and young players under coach Hector Souto. Thailand claimed their 17th title, solidifying their dominance in Southeast Asian futsal, while Indonesia took runner-up after winning in 2024 against Vietnam.
