The home side made the brighter start with Al Ghassani heading just over the bar from Weerathep Pomphun’s cross inside the opening three minutes, while Sailors toiled in front of goal.
The pressure on the Singapore side paid off in the 10th minute when Safuwan Baharudin was penalised for handball inside the area but Richairo Zivkovic wasted the chance to give Bangkok the lead after his panenka clipped the crossbar.

Bangkok’s frustration deepened when Zivkovic was forced out of the game following an injury in the 22nd minute with veteran forward Teerasil Dangda coming on.
Sailors almost capitalised moments later when Song Ui-young’s deft through pass released Lennart Thy on goal but with only Patiwat Khammai to beat, the German forward drilled his shot just wide of the right post.

Sailors grew in confidence as the half wore on, and came close to breaking the deadlock in the 42nd minute when Tsiy Ndenge rattled the crossbar with his free-kick.
Bangkok were let off the hook again a minute later when Everton produced a goal line clearance when he headed Thy’s close range header off the line to keep the game goalless.

The Singapore side began the second half on the front foot with Bart Ramselaar firing just wide from distance, a minute after the restart following Thy’s clever pass, but Bangkok wrestled control with Teerasil holding up play and Al Ghassani and Ilias Alhaft both going close.
Bangkok’s persistence led to Sailors’ captain Haris Harun being shown a straight red card for his foul on Ilias Alhaft inside the box in the 60th minute, with Al Ghassani converting the ensuing penalty.
