The Thai team will play away against Hong Kong (China). This is the second friendly match of Mano Polking's team at the FIFA Days in June. Before that, they drew 2-2 with Taiwan (China).
The Thai team fielded their strongest lineup with the duo Sarach and Phitiwat in midfield. Chanathip and Supachok supported Teerasil Dangda in attack. The team from the land of the golden pagodas actively controlled the ball and advanced their formation. However, the Hong Kong defense was not easy for the Thais to penetrate.
The Thai team had a lot of difficulty approaching the Hong Kong goal.
Facing a deadlock, Thailand used many high crosses into the penalty area. However, Teerasil Dangda and Channarong both hit the crossbar or sent the ball close to the goal, much to the regret of the Thai coaching staff.
In the second half, Thailand still controlled the ball more. However, Hong Kong's solid defense made the strikers of the Golden Temple team face a deadlock. In the 61st minute, Coach Polking had to bring on two players, Chakkit and Patthompol, to improve the attack.
Two minutes later, Thailand opened the scoring. Teerasil Dangda received a pass from his teammate before finishing accurately, defeating goalkeeper Yapp Hung Fai.
For the rest of the match, Hong Kong pushed up their formation. However, Thailand's defense played with concentration to neutralize the home team's combinations. The match ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of Thailand.
Despite losing the match, Coach Andersen can be satisfied with his players' performance. A few days earlier, they had only lost by a narrow 1 goal to the Vietnamese team despite being rated lower.
Result: Hong Kong (China) 0-1 Thailand
Goal scorer: Teerasil Dangda (63')
