Seeing the Thai team dominate Kyrgyzstan in the first half and take the lead, Madam Pang announced that she would give the Thai team a "bonus" based on the number of points they got: 1 million baht for 1 point and 3 million baht if they won 3 points. Not disappointing Madam Pang, the Thai players continued to have an excellent performance in the second half, Supachai completed his double to win 2-0. The Thai team got the first 3 points at the 2023 Asian Cup and received a bonus of 3 million baht (more than 2 billion VND).
Madam Pang was moved: “In the world of football, I understand that the first match is always difficult. Because it is full of expectations and pressure, but today everyone has proven that everything is possible. The players are united, their hearts are one.
I want to praise coach Ishii. He had excellent tactics and the players adapted well. Although our world ranking is behind Kyrgyzstan, overall we did very well. These are three important points, making the Thai people happy and giving us a better chance to get into the next round."
Madam Pang praised the spirit of the Thai team.
Sharing the same sentiment as Madam Pang, Thai football star Chanathip Songkrasin - who suffered an injury and could not participate in the 2023 Asian Cup - celebrated with excitement. The 30-year-old player continuously posted lines of praise for his teammates on Facebook. At the end of the match, Chanathip concluded with the status line: "Wonderful".
Thai fans were also proud of the performance of coach Ishii and his players. Under the post updating the results, Thai fans were optimistic about their team's chances of advancing: "Weerathep was excellent in controlling the midfield. We will definitely have a beautiful dream tonight. The door to the next round is wide open."
Another Thai fan was happy that they were the first Southeast Asian team to win 3 points at the 2023 Asian Cup: “The king of Southeast Asia is back. We have the right to be proud and hold our heads high.”

The 2-0 win over Kyrgyzstan also opened up the opportunity for coach Ishii and his students to continue. They have temporarily risen to the top of the group with 3 points. In the second match of Group F, the Thai team will face the Oman team (21.1).
