Kaohsiung City: Chinese Taipei and Cambodia will go into Tuesday’s 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualifying play-off second leg all square after the sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in the first leg at the National Stadium on Thursday.

With a place in the third round of qualifiers for the continental competition in the United Arab Emirates at stake, Huang Wei-Min fired Chinese Taipei in front early in the first leg only for Keo Sokpheng to pull Cambodia level inside the first 10 minutes.

The hosts retook the lead at the midway stage of the first half through Chen Po-Liang but Chinese Taipei were again pegged back after Chhin Chhoeun’s goal on 30 minutes, before Cambodia’s Chan Vathanaka saw his penalty saved early in the second half.

Cambodia captain Bin Chanthacheary and Chinese Taipei’s Chen Hao-Wei were then both dismissed for separate incidents, before Lin Chang-Lun missed a great chance to win the tie for the hosts in the closing stages.
