Both were playing for pride after having already been eliminated with the attacking advantage in Thailand's favour in the opening minutes.

Myanmar were content to sit back but struck against the run of play in the 19th minute when Sai Myat Min capitalised on Thailand's failure to clear the ball to slot home from just outside the box.

The midfielder doubled Myanmar's joy three minutes later, this time hitting home from close range after Myat Min Thu had turned a cross into his path.

A stung Thailand looked to respond and they laid siege on the Myanmar goalmouth with Pichaya Chaiwarangkun's shot from outside the box saved by Myanmar custodian Htet Wai Yan.

With Thailand having upped their tempo, Myanmar had to defend deep but they could only hold out till the 30th minute, with Pakorn Suttiprapa catching Htet off-guard with his shot from an acute angle.

Both sides then had chances but with neither able to convert, Myanmar went into the break with a lead to protect.

The onus was on Thailand to find their way back into the tie but they had to wait till the 60th minute for a chance, with Boonyakorn Pachongsin's shot from the right side of the box comfortably saved by the Myanmar custodian.

Pichaya should have done better with his effort two minutes later but the forward skied the ball as Thailand grew increasingly desperate.

Throwing caution to the wind, Thailand increased their intensity and were finally rewarded in the 75th minute when they capitalised on indecision in the Myanmar defence to draw level through David Gabert's shot from just outside the box as the teams ended their respective campaigns with a stalemate.
