Supachok is unlucky, Thailand team disappoints against the second weakest team in Asia

Entering the opening match of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers on the evening of March 25, Thailand fielded an extremely strong squad with many potential players such as Supachok, Suphanat, Chanathip... The team's formation showed that Thailand did not hide its ambition to "eat its opponent alive".

But with a squad rich in naturalized players, Sri Lanka with 17 players from the US, Australia or Europe has caused a lot of trouble for the opponent. The players of this South Asian team have good physique and physical strength. Although their technique is still limited, they are still enough to block attacks from Thailand.

Coupled with the system's problems, Thailand did not often threaten the opponent's goal. It was not until the 44th minute that they opened the scoring. Once again, Gustavsson scored with a simple goal-scoring position.

Gustavsson scored all 3 goals for Thailand in March 2025

Thus, all 3 goals of Thailand in the FIFA series in March belonged to Gustavsson - a striker of Swedish origin. Surely, Thai fans expect more from other strikers like Supachok, Suphanat.

In the second half, Thailand showed that they would not accept a narrow win. That was the reason why this team continuously attacked, often putting Sri Lanka's goal on alert. However, opportunities came and went for the strikers in blue. First, Supachok faced the goalkeeper but he hit the post. In the 69th minute, Chanathip put Thirasak in a comfortable position. However, this striker kicked the ball out in a confusing way.

Thailand ended the 90 minutes with a 1-0 victory, an unconvincing score against the second weakest team in Asia. Remember, Sri Lanka is a team ranked 113 places below them in the FIFA rankings.

Although they still have 3 points, in the coming time, Thailand will certainly have to improve their performance if they do not want to be stopped by Turkmenistan or Chinese Taipei, the teams in Group D with them in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.
