The match at Mỹ Đình Stadium was a repeat of the reverse fixture in September, when again the two sides couldn’t be separated, though in truth the home side will be happier with the point after withstanding a lot of second-half pressure. Việt Nam’s coach Park Hang-seo named the same team that defeated the United Arab Emirates on November 14, while Akira Nishino’s Thailand made several changes from the team that lost to Malaysia, with star left-back Theerathon Bunmathan back in the side after missing out through suspension.

Pham Cong Son, CEO of The Shells resort, said that businesses for many years have been seriously concerned about the shortage. The severe shortage of senior managers at five-star hotels is partly due to the less-than-ideal living conditions on the island, Son said at a recent round-table meeting held by Tuoi Tre newspaper on Phu Quoc Island.
