Thailand's U23 team edged arch-rivals Vietnam 1-0 to pick up their first win in the CFA Team China International Youth Tournament at Fengdong Football Park East Stadium in Xi'an on Saturday. The winger wasted another opportunity in the first-half stoppage time as the Vietnam keeper saved the shot with his left leg. Thanakrit had a chance to double his tally in the 57th minute but his shot was cleared by a Vietnam defender. Chawanwit missed another good opportunity in the 72nd minute while Worawut Noisri should have added a second goal for Thailand in injury time.
