In the October international matches, the Thai team tested their strength against European opponents. The reigning Southeast Asian champions faced Georgia last night (October 12). The European team ranked 38th in Europe (according to FIFA rankings), 78th in the world.
The Thai team did not have the strongest squad. Stars Teerasil Dangda, Suphanat Muaenta, Supachok Sarachat, Chanathip Songkrasin and Supachai Jaided were not called up and did not participate in this tour. The quality was clearly inferior to the opponent, the team from the land of the golden pagodas lost heavily.
Thailand team lost heavily to Georgia.
The European team took a 6-goal lead in the first half. In the 9th minute, striker Zuriko Davitashvili opened the scoring for the Georgian team. Then just 3 minutes later, it was midfielder Luka Lochoshvili's turn to double the gap.
Conceding a goal quickly, the Thai team tried to control the situation. Although the time of ball possession was not much different, this index did not help the Thai team.
In the first half alone, they lost another 4 goals when Davitashvili completed his double and Georges Mikautadze scored a hat-trick in just 17 minutes. Being 6 goals down, the next period no longer had much technical significance for the Thai team. They lost confidence in playing football and often made mistakes.
Mikautadze scored another goal and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - a star player of Napoli - scored to complete the 8-0 victory for Georgia. This is the biggest win margin of the Georgian team, and also the biggest defeat in the history of the Thai team.
Result: Georgia 8-0 Thailand
