Thailand won the first leg 4–0, the biggest defeat for either side in this fixture since their meeting at the 1985 Southeast Asian Games, when Thailand as the host country won 7–0 against Indonesia. With a four-goal margin of defeat, this was also the biggest defeat in an AFF Championship final, in any legged tie. The previous joint-biggest defeats were by a three-goal margin (4–1 in the 2000 single leg final and 3–0 in the first leg of the 2010 final), both of which coincidentally featured Indonesia as the losing side. In the second leg, Indonesia stroke first but conceded two in three minutes before equalising with just minutes to go as they avoided to become the first team to lose both legs of the final since themselves to Singapore in 2004.
