A stoppage-time goal by Hashim Sayed Isa helped Bahrain beat Thailand 2-1 yesterday in friendly match ahead of the 2023 Asian Cup qualifiers.
Thailand scored the opening goal of the match, played at Pathum Thani Stadium, in the fourth minute when Teerasil Dangda converted a penalty.
After the goal, Thailand continued to dominate Bahrain but missed many opportunities to increase the gap. Phitiwat Sukjitthammakul missed a chance to score in the 18th minute and Bordin Phala messed it up in the 34th.
Bahrain got the equaliser through Ibrahim Al Khattal who found the back of the net towards the end of the first half.
Bahrain came back roaring in the second half and almost scored early on, but Mahdi Al Humaidan missed an opportunity because he slipped when the ball was less than one metre from Thai goalkeeper Kittipong Phuthawchueak.
Bahrain launched an all-out attacked as the game was approaching a draw and Isa managed to score the winner in additional time.
