Vietnam hold Thailand to 2-2 draw in first leg of AFF Cup final

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 13 ― Two-time champion Vietnam failed to take advantage of playing on home turf after managing only a 2-2 draw against defending champion Thailand in the first leg final of the 2022 Asean Football Federation at the My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam, today.

Vietnam started the match on an aggressive note with Pham Tuan Hai missing the target by inches in the 10th minute while Thailand striker Adisak Kraisorn pulled off a good save from Vietnam goalkeeper Dang Van Lam in the 14th minute. Shocked by the goal, Thailand moved into top gear and nearly struck the equaliser three minutes later but Thailand skipper Theerathon Bunmathan’s freekick hit the crossbar.

Theerathon, the architect of Thailand’s first goal, was once again involved in Thailand’s second goal when he put through Sarach Yooyen in the 63rd minute to put his team ahead.
