Thailand won easily, paving the way to the Asian Cup

Bunmathan (3) contributed his shoes to 2/3 of the goals.

Thailand Entering this match with a dominant position. In the group, they are much better than the Maldives and Sri Lanka. If they win these two teams, the War Elephant will open the door to continue. Therefore, they entered the match against Maldives with the determination to win, even win big to compare the sub-index.

But the hot weather and caution made the white team unable to create opportunities. In the first 15 minutes, the two teams played exploratory play and hardly any noticeable ball phase.

But then, the game started to become interesting with consecutive attacks of Thailand. From the 16th minute to the end of the first half, Thailand completely dominated. But the Maldives is not necessarily just defensive. They are still very ready to hit back, typically in the 29th minute, Hamza Mohammed hit a header to send the ball out.

And Maldives has more reason to regret when in the last 5 minutes, Thailand consecutively scored 2 goals to “close” the match early. 40 minutes, Theerathon Bunmathan stretched accurately, brought the ball to Sarach Yooyen’s head and the midfielder finished neatly and put the ball into the net. Thailand leads the Maldives 1-0.

Dangda was the second scorer of the match.

45 minutes, from the opening phase of Badin Phala on the left wing, the ball came to Teerasil Dangda’s feet. This veteran striker helped Thailand lead 2-0 in the first half after a standard finish.

The 2-0 difference makes it easier for Thailand to master the game. But they no longer hit the ball as quickly as before. Instead, Thailand slowed down the pace to preserve the fitness for the pillars. Their midfielders controlled the game so well that the Maldives did not take a chance.

Meanwhile, Thailand sometimes puts the opponent’s goal on alert. In the 55th minute, Thailand had a chance. Teerasil Dangda shot the ball but the Maldives goalkeeper took the initiative. In the 70th minute, Sarach tried her luck with a pretty good kick, but unfortunately the ball still missed the goal.

And in the 81st minute, the War Elephant closed the match with the third goal. Still from the fuse Theerathorn Bunmathan. He opened the door with a sensitive pass and Phansa Hemviboon took advantage of the opportunity to score. This is the last remarkable ball of the match, Thailand temporarily leads the group before Uzbekistan plays against Sri Lanka in the late match.
