The result meant both ended with seven points, with Thailand winning the group on superior goal difference. Korea Republic, however, should advance as one of the best seven second-placed sides.

Thailand 2-2 Korea Republic
Both teams came into the tie level on points, having defeated Brunei Darussalam and Bahrain respectively and it was Korea Republic who drew first blood in the sixth minute with Kim Gun-woo converting Shin Jong-hoon’s pass off a set-piece situation.
Thailand drew level in the 25th minute when Korea Republic keeper Jeong Joo-ho conceded a corner after repelling Muhammad Osamanmusa’s shot. Sarawut Phalaphruek sent a pinpoint pass to Teerapat Meuansri to slot home from inside the box.
Korea Republic reclaimed the lead just after the half-hour mark, Eom Ji-yong powering down the right channel before supplying Lee Han-wool to score with a simple tap-in.
Osamanmusa, however, came to Thailand’s rescue in the 32nd minute when he evaded his marker on the turn to shoot past Jeong to ensure his side a share of the spoils.
Bahrain 9-0 Brunei Darussalam
Bahrain cruised to victory with Salman Maula Muhammad leading their charge with four goals, netting in the second, seventh, 17th and 18th minutes.
Ammar Hasan Ali struck twice, finding the net in the eighth and 18th minutes while Ahmed Mohamed Antar got his name on the scoresheet in the 10th minute.
The Bahrain goal fest continued in the second period with Mohamed Adbulla Ali (22nd) and Ali Alaraibi (33rd) ensuring the West Asian side ended their campaign on a high note.
