The two teams both wore black armbands and the players observed a minute’s silence ahead of the start of the game. The Muangthong United striker’s penalty meant he scored all the three goals for his side against the Socceroos in six meetings. Thailand went close to scoring the winner in the closing stages but Sirod failed to beat visiting keeper after running clear towards goal. Thailand still lie bottom of the table with one point from five games, while Australia slipped one place to third spot on eight points. Japan climbed to the runners-up spot after beating Saudi Arabia 2-1, who they trailed only on goal difference.
