[[Thailand national football team|Thailand]] and [[Kyrgyzstan national football team|Kyrgyzstan]] only met each other just once, a friendly in 2001 where Thailand won 3–1.


Thailand quickly proved their worth with an offside goal in the 15th minute, before dealt a fatal blow to Kyrgyzstan in the 26th minute when [[Bordin Phala]] delivered a long-range shot, then [[Supachai Chaided]] quickly approached the ball following a deflection from [[Erzhan Tokotayev]]'s save to hit the net and give Thailand the lead. Chaided then closed the game in the 49th minute when in a major offensive, [[Theerathon Bunmathan]] delivered a spectacular high pass for Phala, who then provided a fickle for [[Supachok Sarachat]] to take a header; despite the header hit the back of [[Tamirlan Kozubaev]], Chaided was quick to approach before sending the ball to the net. Thailand then set up an extremely effective defence to neutralise opportunities of Kyrgyzstan as the Thais held firm for the win.

===Saudi Arabia vs Oman===
[[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]] and [[Oman national football team|Oman]] faced each other in an Asian Cup group stage for the first time. In competitive fixtures, Saudi Arabia had never lost to Oman, with two draws and two wins, which their most recent encounters happened during the [[2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC third round|2022 FIFA World Cup qualification]], which Saudi Arabia gained 1–0 win each.

The match kickstarted in high tempo as Oman surprised Saudi Arabia with their energetic midfield group. At the ninth minute, a failed corner attempt by the Saudis saw [[Salaah Al-Yahyaei]] pulled a speedy run into the Saudi defence before his effort was denied, but not without his teammate [[Muhsen Al-Ghassani]]'s quick incursion into the Saudi penalty area, during which his feet got stomped by [[Hassan Al-Tambakti]]; later VAR decision gave Oman the penalty, and Al-Yahyaei didn't miss the opportunity at the 15th minute. Later, Oman set up a highly cohesive defence system to deny Saudi Arabia from scoring, but it could not withstand in the 78th minute when from the midfield, [[Mohamed Kanno]] passed back to [[Ali Lajami]], who then set up a decisive pass for [[Abdulrahman Ghareeb]] as he successfully soloed over a rain of Omani defenders before curved beautifully to level the score. Drama came in the sixth minute of extra time in the second half, when from a corner from Ghareeb sent to Lajami, who then gave a high pass to [[Ali Al-Bulaihi]] as he headed into the net of [[Ibrahim Al-Mukhaini (footballer, born 1997)|Ibrahim Al-Mukhaini]]; initially, the goal was disallowed for offside before it was thought to withstand due to a misunderstanding between the VAR team and the referee, only for the decision to be reversed as the Saudis triumphed in a hard-fought match, leaving Omani players in despair with this devastating loss.

===Oman vs Thailand===
===Oman vs Thailand===
[[Oman national football team|Oman]] and [[Thailand national football team|Thailand]] had faced each other 12 times with Oman slightly dominated Thailand with 6 wins over 5. In term of Asian Cup meetings however, Thailand and Oman are equal, with the most recent Asian Cup meeting in [[2007 AFC Asian Cup|2007]] ended with Thailand winning 2–0. However, the most recent competitive fixture, as part of the [[2014 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC third round|2014 FIFA World Cup qualification]], saw Oman triumphed 2–0. All five Thai wins over Oman happened at home and none had ever occurred in Omani or neutral ground.

All five Thai wins over Oman happened at home and none had ever occurred in Omani or neutral ground.


The match started with Thailand surprisingly went offensive and a dangerous header from [[Elias Dolah]] at the 16th minute of the match saw his header denied by [[Ibrahim Al-Mukhaini (footballer, born 1997)|Ibrahim Al-Mukhaini]] before it went wild. Oman gradually reasserted control of the match but not until the second half that they relentlessly put Thailand on the defence, in particular with numerous attacking efforts, but none of the Omani strikers could clinically finish the game as Oman were forced to settle with a draw to an increasingly conservative Thai side that laid low to successfully hold the scoreline goalless.

It was the first time ever Thailand managed to have two consecutive clean sheets at the AFC Asian Cup, a feat never achieved in their participation history, although Thailand remained unable to break the poor record in neutral and away ground to Oman (D2, L5).

[[Kyrgyzstan national football team|Kyrgyzstan]] only met [[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]] twice, both during the [[1996 AFC Asian Cup qualification#Group 9|1996 AFC Asian Cup qualification]], which Saudi Arabia won 5–0 on aggregate.


Saudi Arabia got off to a dream start when a brutal foul by [[Ayzar Akmatov]] on [[Sami Al-Najei]] near Kyrgyzstan's penalty area at the 7th minute resulted in his dismissal. With one-man advantage, Saudi Arabia eventually broke through at the 35th minute when from a long-range shot by [[Abdulellah Al-Malki]], the ball hit the right post before it deflected to [[Saud Abdulhamid]], before Abdulhamid gave the ball to [[Mohamed Kanno]] with a clinical close-range pass and Kanno volleyed into the net. Thing only became better for the Saudis when another dangerous foul from [[Kimi Merk]] on [[Hassan Al-Tambakti]] at the 50th minute resulted in Kyrgyzstan reduced to nine men. Despite massive numerical advantage however, it was not until the 85th minute when, from a failed clearance by the Kyrgyz midfielders, the ball was sent to [[Faisal Al-Ghamdi]] from [[Mukhtar Ali]], before Al-Ghamdi scored a rather lucky goal when [[Erzhan Tokotayev]]'s attempt to punch the ball away instead hit home to secure Saudi Arabia's win.

===Saudi Arabia vs Thailand===
===Saudi Arabia vs Thailand===
[[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]] and [[Thailand national football team|Thailand]] have met each other 16 times, with Saudi Arabia overwhelmingly dominant with 14 wins. In Asian Cup finals, Saudi Arabia met Thailand twice in [[1992 AFC Asian Cup|1992]] and [[1996 AFC Asian Cup|1996]], both were Saudi victories. Saudi Arabia have also proved more dominant than Thailand in other competitive fixtures, with their most recent meetings during the [[2018 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC third round|2018 FIFA World Cup qualification]] ended with Saudi Arabia winning 4–0 on aggregate.
[[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]] and [[Thailand national football team|Thailand]] had met each other 16 times, with Saudi Arabia overwhelmingly dominant with 14 wins. In Asian Cup finals, Saudi Arabia met Thailand twice in [[1992 AFC Asian Cup#Group B|1992]] and [[1996 AFC Asian Cup#Group B|1996]], both times the Saudis won. Saudi Arabia had been more dominant than Thailand in other competitive fixtures, with their most recent meetings during the [[2018 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC third round#Group B|2018 FIFA World Cup qualification]] ended with Saudi Arabia winning 4–0 on aggregate.

The first attempt for the back of the net came from [[Abdullah Radif]]'s penalty, following an earlier foul by [[Suphan Thongsong]] on [[Abdulrahman Ghareeb]], but Radif squandered the opportunity. The match then went to the most bizarre way in the competition as possible, with Saudi Arabia and Thailand, having rotated most of their teams due to their early progressions, scored four times only to be disallowed all by VAR; first, [[Jaroensak Wonggorn]]'s pass for [[Teerasak Poeiphimai]]'s header was disallowed for Teerasak's offside at the 15th minute; followed by Radif's goal with the provide by [[Abdullah Al-Khaibari]] just a minute later also disallowed; then, at the 35th minute, from a curl to the penalty area by [[Santiphap Channgom]], Teerasak headed to [[Worachit Kanitsribampen]] to score only to again ruled out for offside; before it finally ended with Al-Khaibari's long-range pass for Ghareeb to sprint over and score only to end up ruled out again at the 57th minute, as both teams were forced to settle for a draw despite consistent Saudi domination and pressure.

With this outcome, it marked Thailand's best ever AFC Asian Cup performance, with three consecutive [[shutouts]] and the first time ever they advanced past two consecutive Asian Cup group stages, both were Thailand's first in their participation history. It was also the first time since the [[2014 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC third round#Group D|2014 FIFA World Cup qualification]] that Thailand did not lose to Saudi Arabia in a competitive fixture, and also the first in the history that Thailand did not lose to Saudi Arabia at the AFC Asian Cup.

[[Kyrgyzstan national football team|Kyrgyzstan]] and [[Oman national football team|Oman]] faced each other in a competitive Asian Cup finals for the first time. In term of competitive fixtures, they met twice, the most recent one occurred during the [[2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC second round#Group D|2026 FIFA World Cup qualification]] where Kyrgyzstan shocked Oman with a 1–0 win.

Oman started on a bright note when, from a perfectly combined corner kick, [[Muhsen Al-Ghassani]] headed home at the eighth minute following chaotic attempts by both the Kyrgyz and Omanis to gain field; VAR later confirmed after the ball landed over the line. Oman then poured even further pressure to find further goals, but as Oman wasted numerous opportunities later on, warnings of cracks on Omani defence started to appear when at the 47th minute [[Joel Kojo]], receiving a deliver from [[Bakhtiyar Duyshobekov]], headed home only to be found offside. Eventually, Oman were made to pay at the 80th minute, when from a long-range delivery by [[Farkhat Musabekov]], [[Khalid Al-Braiki]] and [[Ibrahim Al-Mukhaini (footballer, born 1997)|Ibrahim Al-Mukhaini]] miscommunicated to each other while trying to prevent Kojo, allowing Kojo to find the back of the net at the disbelief of Al-Mukhaini. Despite further attempts, none could find goal as they were forced to end their tournament at the group stages.

This result meant Kyrgyzstan failed to advance past the group stage for the first time after successfully advancing at their debut in [[2019 AFC Asian Cup knockout stage|2019]]. For Oman, this was their worst AFC Asian Cup performance since the [[2007 AFC Asian Cup Group A|2007 edition]], both winning just two points.

Thailand vs Kyrgyzstan

Thailand and Kyrgyzstan only met each other just once, a friendly in 2001 where Thailand won 3–1.

Thailand quickly proved their worth with an offside goal in the 15th minute, before dealing a fatal blow to Kyrgyzstan in the 26th minute when Bordin Phala delivered a long-range shot, then Supachai Chaided quickly approached the ball following a deflection from Erzhan Tokotayev's save to hit the net and give Thailand the lead. Chaided then closed the game in the 49th minute when in a major offensive, Theerathon Bunmathan delivered a spectacular high pass for Phala, who then provided a fickle for Supachok Sarachat to take a header; despite the header hitting the back of Tamirlan Kozubaev, Chaided was quick to approach before sending the ball to the net. Thailand then set up an extremely effective defence to neutralise opportunities of Kyrgyzstan as the Thais held firm for the win.

This was the first time Thailand won an opening match of the AFC Asian Cup, with their best record prior to this historic win being three draws and four losses.

Saudi Arabia vs Oman

Saudi Arabia and Oman faced each other in the Asian Cup for the first time. In competitive fixtures, Saudi Arabia had never lost to Oman, with two draws and two wins, which their most recent encounters happened during the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification, which Saudi Arabia gained 1–0 win each.

The match kickstarted in high tempo as Oman surprised Saudi Arabia with their energetic midfield group. At the ninth minute, a failed corner attempt by the Saudis saw Salaah Al-Yahyaei pull a speedy run into the Saudi defence before his effort was denied, but not without his teammate Muhsen Al-Ghassani's quick incursion into the Saudi penalty area, during which his feet got stomped by Hassan Al-Tambakti; later VAR decision gave Oman the penalty, and Al-Yahyaei didn't miss the opportunity at the 15th minute. Later, Oman set up a highly cohesive defence system to deny Saudi Arabia from scoring, but it could not withstand in the 78th minute when from the midfield, Mohamed Kanno passed back to Ali Lajami, who then set up a decisive pass for Abdulrahman Ghareeb as he successfully soloed over a rain of Omani defenders before curving beautifully to level the score. Drama came in the sixth minute of extra time in the second half, when from a corner from Ghareeb sent to Lajami, who then gave a high pass to Ali Al-Bulaihi as he headed into the net of Ibrahim Al-Mukhaini; initially, the goal was disallowed for offside before it was thought to withstand due to a misunderstanding between the VAR team and the referee, only for the decision to be reversed as the Saudis triumphed in a hard-fought match, leaving Omani players in despair with this devastating loss.

Oman vs Thailand

Oman and Thailand had faced each other 12 times with Oman slightly dominating Thailand with six wins to five. In term of Asian Cup meetings however, Thailand and Oman are equal, with the most recent Asian Cup meeting in 2007 ended with Thailand winning 2–0. However, the most recent competitive fixture, as part of the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification, saw Oman triumph 2–0. All five Thai wins over Oman happened at home and none had ever occurred in Omani or neutral ground.

The match started with Thailand surprisingly going offensive and a dangerous header from Elias Dolah at the 16th minute of the match saw his header denied by Ibrahim Al-Mukhaini before it went wild. Oman gradually reasserted control of the match but not until the second half that they relentlessly put Thailand on the defence, in particular with numerous attacking efforts, but none of the Omani strikers could clinically finish the game as Oman were forced to settle with a draw to an increasingly conservative Thai side that laid low to successfully hold the scoreline goalless.

It was the first time ever Thailand managed to have two consecutive clean sheets at the AFC Asian Cup, a feat never achieved in their participation history, although Thailand remained unable to break the poor record in neutral and away ground to Oman (drawn two, lost five).

Kyrgyzstan vs Saudi Arabia

Kyrgyzstan only met Saudi Arabia twice, both during the 1996 AFC Asian Cup qualification, which Saudi Arabia won 5–0 on aggregate.

Saudi Arabia got off to a dream start when a brutal foul by Ayzar Akmatov on Sami Al-Najei near Kyrgyzstan's penalty area at the 7th minute resulted in his dismissal. With one-man advantage, Saudi Arabia eventually broke through at the 35th minute when from a long-range shot by Abdulellah Al-Malki, the ball hit the right post before it deflected to Saud Abdulhamid, before Abdulhamid gave the ball to Mohamed Kanno with a clinical close-range pass and Kanno volleyed into the net. Things only became better for the Saudis when another dangerous foul from Kimi Merk on Hassan Al-Tambakti at the 50th minute resulted in Kyrgyzstan reduce to nine men. Despite massive numerical advantage however, it was not until the 85th minute when, from a failed clearance by the Kyrgyz midfielders, the ball was sent to Faisal Al-Ghamdi from Mukhtar Ali, before Al-Ghamdi scored a rather lucky goal when Erzhan Tokotayev's attempt to punch the ball away instead hit home to secure Saudi Arabia's win.

Saudi Arabia vs Thailand

Saudi Arabia and Thailand had met each other 16 times, with Saudi Arabia overwhelmingly dominant with 14 wins. In Asian Cup finals, Saudi Arabia met Thailand twice in 1992 and 1996, both times the Saudis won. Saudi Arabia had been more dominant than Thailand in other competitive fixtures, with their most recent meetings during the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification ended with Saudi Arabia winning 4–0 on aggregate.

The first attempt for the back of the net came from Abdullah Radif's penalty, following an earlier foul by Suphan Thongsong on Abdulrahman Ghareeb, but Radif squandered the opportunity. The match then went to the most bizarre way in the competition as possible, with Saudi Arabia and Thailand, having rotated most of their teams due to their early progressions, scored four times only to be disallowed all by VAR; first, Jaroensak Wonggorn's pass for Teerasak Poeiphimai's header was disallowed for Teerasak's offside at the 15th minute; followed by Radif's goal with the provide by Abdullah Al-Khaibari just a minute later also disallowed; then, at the 35th minute, from a curl to the penalty area by Santiphap Channgom, Teerasak headed to Worachit Kanitsribampen to score only to again ruled out for offside; before it finally ended with Al-Khaibari's long-range pass for Ghareeb to sprint over and score only to end up ruled out again at the 57th minute, as both teams were forced to settle for a draw despite consistent Saudi domination and pressure.

With this outcome, it marked Thailand's best ever AFC Asian Cup performance, with three consecutive shutouts and the first time ever they advanced past two consecutive Asian Cup group stages, both were Thailand's first in their participation history. It was also the first time since the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification that Thailand did not lose to Saudi Arabia in a competitive fixture, and also the first in the history that Thailand did not lose to Saudi Arabia at the AFC Asian Cup.

Kyrgyzstan vs Oman

Kyrgyzstan and Oman faced each other in a competitive Asian Cup finals for the first time. In term of competitive fixtures, they met twice, the most recent one occurred during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification where Kyrgyzstan shocked Oman with a 1–0 win.

Oman started on a bright note when, from a perfectly combined corner kick, Muhsen Al-Ghassani headed home at the eighth minute following chaotic attempts by both the Kyrgyz and Omanis to gain field; VAR later confirmed after the ball landed over the line. Oman then poured even further pressure to find further goals, but as Oman wasted numerous opportunities later on, warnings of cracks on Omani defence started to appear when at the 47th minute Joel Kojo, receiving a deliver from Bakhtiyar Duyshobekov, headed home only to be found offside. Eventually, Oman were made to pay at the 80th minute, when from a long-range delivery by Farkhat Musabekov, Khalid Al-Braiki and Ibrahim Al-Mukhaini miscommunicated to each other while trying to prevent Kojo, allowing Kojo to find the back of the net at the disbelief of Al-Mukhaini. Despite further attempts, none could find goal as they were forced to end their tournament at the group stages.

This result meant Kyrgyzstan failed to advance past the group stage for the first time after successfully advancing at their debut in 2019. For Oman, this was their worst AFC Asian Cup performance since the 2007 edition, both winning just two points.

Discipline

Fair play points would have been used as tiebreakers if the overall and head-to-head records of teams were tied. These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:

  • first yellow card: −1 point;
  • indirect red card (second yellow card): −3 points;
  • direct red card: −3 points;
  • yellow card and direct red card: −4 points;

Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player in a single match.
