If there is one thing this first-leg tie showed everyone, it is that Malaysia can expect a torrid time in Bangkok because they found themselves under the cosh for most of the game after taking the lead. It was Faisal’s fourth goal in the current campaign, putting him second on the goalscorers’ list behind prolific Thai ace Teerasil Dangda, who has five goals under his belt.
Malaysia then continued to live dangerously as the Thai team launched a series of attacks, only to be denied either by their own profligacy, the stout defending of Harimau Malaysia players, or just sheer luck. And Thailand nearly found the equaliser just two minutes after the break when Teerasil’s header hit the post.
With almost 70 minutes played, both teams made a rash of substitutions to inject new life into their game, with Thailand continuing to pour forward and create numerous chances as they searched for the equaliser, which never came.
