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 around a Bahrain player's back before running down to finish, but the Bahrain goalkeeper played excellently when he successfully blocked the Thai captain's effort.
