Chanathip shines, Thailand revives hope

Chanathip Songkrasin's goal in the 78th minute gave Thailand an easy 2-0 home win. Earlier, midfielder Seksan Ratree opened the scoring for the War Elephants in the 51st minute.

Before this series of matches, Thailand had a bad start in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers when they lost 1-3 to Turkmenistan in June. The two matches against Taiwan (China) in October will be a turning point for coach Ishii's team.

Things got better for Thailand when in the previous match, Turkmenistan surprisingly lost 0-1 to Sri Lanka away.

With this result, Thailand revived its hope of advancing to the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. The "War Elephants" have the same 6 points as Turkmenistan and Sri Lanka, but are in third place due to a lower goal difference.

The next match against Taiwan on October 14 will be a chance for Thailand to move to the top of the table.
