However, despite their numerical disadvantage, Thailand clawed their way back into the game with Sarach Yooyen netting the equaliser in the 79th minute for a share of the spoils.

Brunei Darussalam, who were seeking a first win of their campaign, broke the deadlock following Nur Ikhwan Othman’s effort in the 21st minute.

Cambodia, however, came back fighting with Choun Chanchav levelling the tie 10 minutes later as the score remained 1-1 going into the break.

 

Nick Taylor put Cambodia ahead with his penalty in the 50th minute before Keo Sokpheng added another from the spot in the 73rd minute for a 3-1 lead.
