The Philippines survived a scare  in the 10th minute when Vu Van Thanh was felled inside the box, only for the penalty decision to be overturned following a VAR decision.

Despite having the majority of possession, the hosts went into half time on level terms.

Their break finally came in the 68th minute after Jarvey Gayoso latched onto a long pass and despite being under pressure, managed to slot past Vietnam keeper Filip Nguyen.

Doan, however, produced late drama as he equalised with a header deep into stoppage time to deny Philippines a famous win. 

Lwin Moe Aung opened the scoring for the hosts in the 32nd minute before Laos staged a stirring comeback with goals from Kydavone Souvanny (77th) and Chony Wenpaserth (81st) to lead with less than 10 minutes of regulation time to go.

Myanmar, however, refused to give in as substitute Win Naing Tun struck two quick-fire goals to decide  the tie.

While Myanmar remain very much in the mix of things, Laos ended their campaign with two points.
