After the first half did not have many opportunities created by Thailand and Bahrain, the match only became really exciting in the second half.

Thailand created many opportunities towards Bahrain's goal after the break and finally, the "war elephants" also converted their advantage into goals.

In the 58th minute, the ball was split down the right wing for Tristan Do and Thailand's number 19 then crossed inside for the number 1 hope "Thai Messi" - Chanathip Songkrasin to rush in and quickly finish with his left foot, sending the ball flying into the Bahrain net.

After that, Bahrain's strikers had many situations threatening Thailand's goal, but goalkeeper Sivarak and the blue-shirted defenders played very solidly.

At the end of the match, Teerasil Dangda dribbled the ball and twisted the back of a Bahrain player before rushing down to finish, but the Bahrain goalkeeper played excellently when he successfully blocked the Thai captain's effort.

In the end, the Thai national team, after parting ways with head coach Milovan Rajevac, had their first victory at the 2019 Asian Cup with a score of 1-0. This result helped Thailand temporarily rank second after India with 3 points after 2 matches./.
