KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 23 — Thailand’s skipper Chanathip Songkrasin produced a heroic performance as he scored a brace to help the five-time winners beat defending champions Vietnam 2-0 in the first-leg semifinal of the 2020 AFF Cup tonight.
Chanathip then calmly slotted in his second goal by placing the ball low in the left bottom corner, thanks to a wonderfully crafted one-touch play with midfielder Sarach Yooyen and striker Teerasil Dangda 10 minutes later. Chanathip, who plays for Japanese-based club Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo, almost bagged his hattrick after the interval but his right-footed effort from outside the box went high in the 57th minute.
Chanathip also had his penalty kick saved by Tran Nguyen Manh in the 85th minute and the score line remained at that until referee Saoud Al-Abda blew the final whistle.
