Coach Shin Tae-yong: 'Indonesia should have won against Thailand'

Indonesia opened the scoring from the 50th minute from Marc Klok's successful penalty. Then, they continued to benefit from the numbers when Sanrawat Dechmitr received a red card in the 62nd minute. But Sarach Yooyen's surprise goal in the 79th minute helped Thailand leave with a point. Earlier, Indonesian fans regretted when Witan Sulaeman shot out at the end of the first half even though there was an empty goal in front of him.

"We should have won," coach Shin said at the post-match press conference. "The players have tried their best but haven't had any luck."

He then thanked the players for their hard work, adding: "It's also seen as if we have a lot of chances to win like that against Thailand. I try to work on my transformation. chance for the team but it's not possible. It's a pity."

Like coach Shin, Klok thinks Indonesia deserves to win because it played better than Thailand. "I'm very sad," Klok said. "The game was not easy but the team played well, stronger, more disciplined. We took the lead and thought to win, but in the end there was only a draw."

Klok affirmed that Indonesia must work hard in the last match against the Philippines and score a lot of goals. Currently, the two teams have the same 7 points, but Thailand leads by goal difference (+9 vs +8). In the last round, Thailand faced Cambodia - the team is third with 6 points and still has the opportunity to go on - at home, while Indonesia is the guest of the Philippines.

The top team of Group A is likely to avoid Vietnam in the semi-finals.
