The support of Thai football fans helped the national football team win the King’s Cup 2024 last night, defeating Syria 2-1 in Songkhla province, said Japanese head coach Matsatada Ishii.

 

Thailand narrowly won after Ekanit Panya scored in the 44th minute of the first half. In the second half, Syria’s Ezequiel Naim Ham equalised in the 53rd minute, before the Thai team’s captain Chanathip Songkrasin scored the winning goal in injury time (90+1).

This victory was crucial for the national football team, marking it their first win since 2017 and the 16th overall.
