(Dan Tri) - The Thai national team had a dramatic 3-2 victory over Singapore in a friendly match during FIFA Days in November, marking a smooth debut for new coach Anthony Hudson.

Welcoming Singapore at Thamasat Stadium on the evening of November 13, the Thai team entered the match confidently and almost opened the score after only 3 minutes of play.

Theerathon Bunmathan passed the ball into the penalty area for Supachai Sarachat to finish from close range, but the Singapore goalkeeper still managed to dive to save the goal.

In the 13th minute, the Thai team quickly changed their lineup when Supachai Jaided was injured and had to leave the field. In the 15th minute, the home team took a 1-0 lead. Sarach Yooyen opened the scoring for the home team with a beautiful volley after the ball bounced out from a corner kick. The powerful shot left the Singapore goalkeeper standing and watching.

However, just 2 minutes later, the Singapore team found an equalizer to tie the score 1-1. From an attack on the right wing, Raihan Stewart crossed the ball for Glenn Kweh to run in and finish close to the goal, giving goalkeeper Patiwat Khammai no chance to block.

In the second half, Thailand continued to dominate the game by putting great pressure on the visitors' defense. After only 2 minutes of play, Theerathon Bunmathan combined with Chanathip Songkrasin to take a corner kick, then unleashed a dangerous cross-angle shot to put Thailand ahead 2-1.

In the 53rd minute, midfielder Seksan Ratri confidently finished right in front of the penalty area to help the "War Elephants" take a two-goal lead. However, Singapore still showed their mettle when they scored a goal to reduce the score to 2-3 in the 63rd minute.

Once again, Glenn Kweh scored the goal when he took advantage of a good opportunity from goalkeeper Patiwat Khammai's push. In the remaining minutes, the Thai team actively defended tightly and waited for counter-attack opportunities, making it difficult for the visitors to find an equalizer.

In the end, the Thai team won with a score of 3-2, marking a smooth debut for new English coach Anthony Hudson.

After this friendly match, the Thai team will have two more training sessions before leaving for Colombo, Sri Lanka on November 15 to compete in the 5th round of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.
