In the opening match of the Southeast Asian Cup 1, Pathum United made a great comeback to win 2-1 against Hanoi Police Club at home. In this match, the Thai club was behind and even played with one less player at the end of the first half.

However, Chanathip single-handedly carried Pathum United when he scored a double to help his team complete a comeback against Hanoi Police Club. In particular, this midfielder showed his star quality when he made a super goal from midfield in the 90+7 minute.
“Thai Messi” observed that goalkeeper Nguyen Filip had not yet retreated after running far from the goal to clear the ball. This player decided to take a shot straight from the middle of the field, beyond Nguyen Filip’s reach and flying straight into the net.
On social networks, Chanathip received many compliments for his extremely classy finishing move. When asked about this, the star born in 1993 surprisingly answered: “I just shot without thinking it would go in. It was a lucky moment. Without my teammates, I could not have done so well.
I would like to thank the coaching staff, the staff and all my teammates. We played with only 10 men but we still focused and came back to win. Thank you to the great team spirit.”
In this match, Chanathip celebrated his goal in the style of “making a phone call”. Explaining this action, the Thai conductor said: “I wanted to call my mother. Actually, I thought of that scenario before the match. If I scored, I would call my mother. Luckily, I was able to do that.”

In the second match of Group A, Hanoi Police Club will face Philippine opponent Dynamic Herb Cebu. Meanwhile, Buriram United will face Pathum United. These matches will all take place on September 24.
