Jakarta. Indonesia secured its second ASEAN Futsal Championship trophy on Sunday evening, defeating Vietnam 2-0 and ending a 14-year title drought.

In the final match held at Nakhon Ratchasima Stadium in Thailand, Indonesia took the lead in the eighth minute with a goal by Muhammad Syaifullah. Rizqi Xavier sealed the victory by scoring just a minute before the final whistle. Goalkeeper Ahmad Habibie delivered a stellar performance, keeping a clean sheet despite relentless attacks from the Vietnamese players.

The win marked a flawless conclusion to Indonesia's unbeaten run in the tournament. They dominated the group stage with victories over Cambodia (9-0), Australia (3-1), and Myanmar (5-1).

Indonesia earned a spot in the final after a commanding 5-1 triumph over host team Thailand, the most successful team in the competition’s history with 16 titles.
