Thailand coach Mano Polking bemoaned his side’s defending at set-pieces after Vietnam salvaged a late 2-2 draw in the first leg of the Asean Football Federation championship final in Hanoi on Friday night.
Polking is aiming to lead the War Elephants to back-to-back titles after winning the competition last year, but saw his hopes of a first-leg lead ended by Vu Van Thanh’s 88th minute equaliser at My Dinh Stadium.
