Who is Dinh Bac's rival in the SEA Games Golden Boot race?

In men's football at SEA Games 33, there are only 2 players who have scored more than 1 goal: Nguyen Dinh Bac and Yotsakorn Burapha.

Shooting each other

Specifically, Dinh Bac scored a double in the 2-1 victory of the Vietnam U23 team over Laos on the afternoon of December 3. That same evening, Yotsakorn had a hat-trick, helping the Thailand U23 team defeat Timor Leste 6-1. These are the two players leading the list of top scorers of the 33rd SEA Games men's football.

And so does Dinh Bac. It will be interesting if these two strikers have a chance to compete in the men's football final of SEA Games 33.

Yotsakorn is one of the heavyweights with Dinh Bac in the race for the Golden Boot. With a height of 1.84 m, the striker born in 2005 is extremely strong in aerial situations. 2 out of 3 of his goals were scored with his head. The remaining goal came after a skillful handling in a narrow area and then placing the ball in with his weaker left foot. Overall, the striker has a fairly comprehensive and diverse finishing ability. He also possesses very good speed and technique, so he often plays on the wing.

What's special about Yotsakorn

In the U.23 Thailand squad for the 33rd SEA Games, Yotsakorn is the only player currently playing abroad. He plays for Hougang United, a strong Singaporean team, on loan. This striker grew up in the Chonburi training center, the "cradle" of Thai youth football, and is still on the roster of this team.

Yotsakorn was promoted to the first team in 2022, when he was only 17 years old. After that, he was loaned to Samut Prakan City and PT Prachuap to gain experience. In August 2023, he returned to Chonburi Club and transferred to Hougang United in July 2025. Before the 33rd SEA Games, he was in good form when he scored 2 goals in 5 matches in the Singapore National Championship. In the 2025 U.23 Southeast Asian Championship, he scored 2 goals, being the best striker of the U.23 Thailand team (equal to Seksan Ratree). The media of the Golden Temple country also highly appreciated Yotsakorn's talent.

In the next match, the U.23 Thailand team will face Singapore at 7pm on December 11 at Rajamangala Stadium. The players from the Lion Island certainly understand the danger of Yotsakorn and must come up with a plan to block this striker.
