JAKARTA Thailand successfully held Vietnam 2-2 in the first leg of the 2022 AFF Cup final at My Dinh Stadium, Friday, January 13, 2023 evening WIB.
Nguyen Tien Linh put the hosts ahead in the 24th minute with a header. He maximized the bait sent by Que Ngoc Hai from the right side of the field.
Tien Linh scored this goal beautifully. He ran from behind and seemed to fly to welcome his partner's passing ball to conquer Kampon Phamakkakul.
Vietnam could actually score more than one goal if the golden opportunity in the tenth minute that Pham Tuan Hai got was thanks to Sarach Yooyen's blunder, which could be maximized into a goal.
Mr. Hai just faced the opposing goalkeeper after snatching the ball from Yooyen. Unfortunately his shot still didn't hit the target.
Thailand also had a golden opportunity four minutes after that through Adisak Kraisorn's kick. Unfortunately, this opportunity was successfully thwarted by the home goalkeeper Dang Van Lam.
However, just three minutes after halftime, The War Elephant immediately identified the score. Poramet Arjvirai listed his name on the scoreboard completing Theerathon Bunmathan's pass.
Quarter an hour later, Alexandre Polking's squad added another goal. Bunmathan again provided feedback for Sarach Yooyen to bring Thailand back up 2-1.
However, two minutes before normal time the match was over, The Golden Stars again equalized the score through Van Thanh Vu's goal which continued Thanh Binh Nguyen's pass.
The 2-2 score lasted until the referee's long whistle marked the game was over. This result makes Thailand only need a goalless draw or 1-1 in the second leg to defend their title.
