In the second half, the Lao team lost strength. After the 60th minute, the Philippines put on a lot of pressure. The Lao team changed goalkeepers but the substitute still did a good job with many good saves.
The Philippines' efforts helped them equalize thanks to a tricky turn and finish by Sandro Reyes. The goal made the final minutes of the match more exciting. The Laos team pushed up their formation, determined to find a goal to keep the 3 points at home.
Coach Ha Hyeok-jun's players created a few threatening situations in extra time. However, they could not take the lead for the second time. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.
