The Philippines lost 1-3 to Thailand in the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup semifinals, with an aggregate score of 4-3 in favor of Thailand, sending the host team to the final against Vietnam. The match was controversial due to referee and VAR decisions, especially the opening goal by Thailand, which was deemed to have crossed the goal line before being passed into the penalty area.
Despite the Philippines' efforts, they could not overcome the disadvantage and suffered numerous fouls from Thailand, receiving only 5 yellow cards for 24 fouls. Head coach Albert Capellas urged the team and supporters to be proud of their determined journey in the tournament.
