Cagey start to the second half so far.

 四 六 min

Thailand have made one change to start the second half, with Sumanya Purisai coming on for Sarach Yooyen. Away we go!

Half time

The corner is wasted and referee blows for the break and the sides go in goalless. Viet Nam have had more of the ball and played most of the game in the Thai half, but the home side created the clear-cut chances and are perhaps unlucky not to have scored. It's all to play for in the second period!

Viet Nam have a corner here at the end of the half, it would be a great time to score...

Things have slowed down a bit, seems like both teams have their eyes on some half-time oranges. Or perhaps durians必修

Great run from Van Toan, he's twisted his man inside out! But there's no power in his shot and it's cleared.

Not much to report, other than the Thai kits are still a crime against football fashion.

 二 七 min

A few meaty challenges being put in here. Proper football.

 二 三 min

Viet Nam free-kick from Quang Hai forces a save, but Kawin gathers easily. It was a long way out, but a player of his stature has earned the right to have a pop.

 二0 min

Still 0-0 and while Viet Nam have had most of the ball and played the game in Thailand's half, the home side have come closest to scoring.

 一 七 min

Off the post! Thailand hit the woodwork after a great turn and shot from striker Supachai Jaided! Against the run of play.

The team's are out for the anthems in front of what looks like a packed stadium. We're not worried if the floodlights fail, as the Thai team's kit looks like it glows in the dark!
