The three points mean Chinese Taipei’s tie against Vietnam on Sunday will be a showdown for the sole automatic qualifying slot to the World Cup in Australia/New Zealand. Thailand, despite missing several players due to the COVID-19 outbreak in their squad, were the early aggressors with Chinese Taipei’s Tsai Ming-Jung the busier of the two goalkeepers in the opening minutes. Chinese Taipei, having weathered the early storm, began to see more of the ball but had to wait till the final seconds of the first half to open the scoring, with Su Yu-Hsuan deftly collecting Wu Kai-Ching’s through pass before slotting past Thailand goalkeeper Chotmanee Thongmongkol.
