Sutee Suksomkit put Thailand ahead as early as the sixth minute through a dubious penalty, after he was allegedly brought down by Ali Hussein Rehema.

Thailand's opener did not bother the Iraqis, who launched attacking waves to level the score.

Younis Mahmoud grabbed the equalizer 13 minutes before the interval after connecting with Saleh Sadir's free-kick to head into the back of the net.

Thailand had the upper hand in the second-half but couldn't deliver as the match ended in a draw.
