One point from the match became Indonesia's first point in Group G of the 2022 World Cup qualification in the Asian zone because in the previous five matches they had always lost to their opponents.

This result became Indonesia's first point achievement in Group G, after always losing from the previous five matches, although it did not change the position of the Garuda squad, which is sure to be the caretaker of the final standings.

Lowering their flagship 4-4-2 formation, Shin Tae-yong's team actually fell behind when the game was only five minutes old when the chaos in front of goal was able to be optimized by Narubodin Weerawatnodom to bring Thailand to the lead.

Indonesia was able to score a reply in the 39th minute when Syahrian Abimanyu's through ball stunned the Thai defense and was chased by Kadek who converted it to make it 1-1 at halftime.

Five minutes into the second half, Thailand restored their lead through Adisak Kraisorn as the 30-year-old striker headed home from Suphan Tongsong's cross.

Thailand's advantage this time did not last long because 10 minutes later Evan Dimas swiftly grabbed the ball from Egy Maulana Vikri's kick to outwit goalkeeper Siwarak Tedungnoen.

Shin Tae-yong used all five Indonesian substitution slots, but that didn't change things much and the 2-2 score lasted until dispersal.
