Yapp Hung-fai: 6/10
Tried to save the goal but wasn’t fully concentrated. Made a crucial save later in the first half and did okay for the rest of the match.
Dani Cancela: 6/10
Partially responsible for the conceded goal. Stepped up the game in the second half.
Festus Baise: 7.5/10
Lively, solid performance and was unlucky to miss the goal in the first half. It is hard to believe that he is the oldest man in the squad.
Andy Russell: 6.5/10
Made a mistake that led to the goal, but did well after that until the end. Made some key clearances.
Cheng King-ho: 4.5/10
Being bullied in the first half on the right and unable to keep up the pace. Improved slightly after the break by involving in attack.
Huang Yang: 6/10
Good work rate, but could have done better, was outnumbered in the midfield.
Wong Wai: 6/10
Almost scored with the free-kick in the first half. Shown glimpses of creativity, but couldn’t do much playing deep in the midfield.
Xu Deshuai: 6/10
Caused some problems in the first half, until he went down injured later on. Good effort.
Jaimes McKee: 5.5/10
Not at his best form, but worked hard to fight for possession. Had a chance in the second half, but the close range attempt was saved by Siwarak Tedsungnoen.
Paul Olivier Ngue: 6.5/10
Strong in the air, protected the ball well and tried to make some link up plays with teammates. Apparently, a few Thai players found it difficult to deal with his strength.
Alex Akande: 6.5/10
Did well. Created some chances up front. Missed a golden chance in the first half.
