Just 11 minutes later, a corner kick from substitute Le Van Thuan caused chaos in Thailand’s box. Under pressure from Pham Ly Duc and Nguyen Hieu Minh, Thailand defender Waris Choolthong awkwardly put the ball into his own net, leveling the score at 2-2.
Coach Kim Sang-sik continued to show his “Midas touch” in his substitutions. Van Thuan, after coming on, played explosively and it was he who earned the corner kick from a long-range shot that deflected off a Thailand defender’s foot.
