Disappointing draw leaves Việt Nam at disadvantage in AFF final

The match started with the men in red taking the initiative, putting the Thai defence under huge pressure. If Theerathon's free-kick was a grave warning for Việt Nam, Park's defenders must not have paid close attention. Poramet's goal was the first goal Việt Nam conceded this tournament, but the horror of Friday the 13th did not end there for the men in red. Việt Nam continued to push forward after Thanh's equaliser, looking for a win, but Thailand's defence stayed strong. With this result, Việt Nam are at a disadvantage on away goals before entering the second leg in Thailand on Monday.
