MANILA — The Philippine National Men’s Football team books their first ASEAN Championships semifinal ticket since 2018 for the ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup.

Their 1-0 victory against Indonesia at Stadion Manahan, Indonesia today sealed their advancement to the semis as they tallied six points.

This comes after three straight draws with Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam during the group stage.

The squad was led by Bjorn Kristensen, who converted a penalty with a right-footed shot to the center of the goal in the 63rd minute.

Stepping up for the Philippines’ defense department was Quincy Kammeraad who made five saves after subbing in for Patrick Deyto in the ninth minute due to an injury.

The Philippines will now face Group A’s leading team Thailand on December 27 at the Rizal Memorial Stadium, Manila for the first leg.

Philippine Football Federation National Director Freddy Gonzalez is very proud of the boys who pushed playing at the away game against the hometown crowd supporting Indonesia.

"We are back! We suffered there. Four games in nine days. Guys were gassed but powered through. Now we have five days rest and semis vs Thailand on the 27th!" said Gonzalez.
