Wednesday’s 4-0 victory at the National Stadium in Singapore, courtesy of a brace from Chanathip Songkrasin and goals from Supachok Sarachat and Bordin Phala, saw Suengchitthawon’s nation firmly in control ahead of Saturday’s second leg.
Unused from the bench in the first match, Suengchitthawon played 45 minutes in the 2-2 draw as Thailand claimed their sixth AFF Suzuki Cup, with Adisak Kraisorn and Sarach Yooyen on the scoresheet for Alexandré Pölking’s men.
