Malaysia’s under-17 women’s football team exited the Piala Srikandi Merdeka 2026 following a 1-5 semi-final defeat to Thailand in Kudus, Indonesia, on Friday, according to Astro Awani.

Market Impact

Thailand took an early lead in the seventh minute through an own goal by a Malaysian defender, the broadcaster reported. Malaysia were reduced to 10 players in the 16th minute when Nisriena Batrissya received a red card for bringing down an opponent. Nina Hasmaji equalised before the break after the Thai goalkeeper failed to handle her shot, sending the teams into half-time tied at 1-1.

Thailand regained the advantage in the 51st minute through a strike by Kawinthida Kikuntod, Astro Awani said. Thailand then added three more goals, with Konokporn Wanthong scoring twice and Zuzana Kordem adding another to close out the match.
