Thailand through to the final round of World Cup qualifiers

Thailand through to the final round of World Cup qualifiers
Thailand snatched a point they needed to guarantee its place in the last-12 team round of Asia’s World Cup qualifiers following a hard-fought 2-2 draw with Iraq in their decisive Group F clash played at neutral venue in Iran yesterday.
The Thais needed at least a draw from the Iraq match at the PAS Ghavamin Stadium in Tehran to ensure they finished top of Group F to clinch the automatic qualification for the third and final round of Asian qualifying.
However, they came within seconds of beating Iraq away from home for the first time in 39 years after twice going in front only to concede a last-gasp goal. Nevertheless, the draw was enough to send coach Kiatisak Senamuang’s side through to the last-12 for only the second time.
