    In last seconds, Supachok Sarachat has the chance to score for Thailand. But Dang Van Lam handles the situation excellently when he comes out of the goal to stop Supachok and blocks his shot with great reflexes. The referee blows the final whistle right after that.

    The game ends goalless.

    Nguyen Van Toan is lonely in the offensive line as he has no teammates to pass the ball to. But his effort is laudible when he tries to dribble and takes a shot over the bar.

    Thailand sub out Thitiipan Puangchan for Peeradon Chamratsamee in the midfield position.

The World Cup qualifier will be played at the Thammasat University stadium, which has a capacity of 25,000. All the tickets have been sold out, according to the organizers.

Although history is on Thailand's side when they have won 14 games, drew four and only lost four against Vietnam, recent results say different.

Since Park Hang-seo took over as Vietnam coach, he has not lost a single match to Thailand at any level.

His U23 teams beat Thailand 2-1 in the 2017 M150 Cup and 4-0 in the 2020 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers. The senior team beat Thailand 1-0 at the King’s Cup in June.
