The home team despite the absences of several key players including Chanatip Songkrasin produced one of their best forms of the season to stun the 66th ranked team following two goals from Teerasil Dangda in the 26th minute and by 18-year-old Ekanit Panya in the 51st minute. Ali Mabkhout scored the only goal for the Middle Eastern side just a minute before halftime. Ekanit Panya, right, celebrates after his goal.

Vietnam also scored a win on Tuesday, a 3-1 victory against Indonesia. Thailand will next visit Malaysia on November 14 while UAE will visit Vietnam on the same day.
