Thailand's team triumphs decisively 5-1 just before SEA Games 33

In a friendly match against the Bangladesh women's national team on the evening of October 27, Thailand secured an easy 5-1 victory.

On the night of October 27, the Thailand women's team delivered an impressive performance by defeating Bangladesh 5-1 in a friendly match held ahead of SEA Games 33. This match served as an important preparation step for Coach Nuengruethai Sathongwian's squad to refine their lineup and tactics.

As early as the 2nd minute, Thailand created their first dangerous chance when Thanikan Dangda made a perfect pass to Saowalak Pengngam, whose shot was blocked. Just 9 minutes later, the Golden Kingdom team scored the opening goal. Jiraporn Mongkoldee assisted Saowalak, who broke through and finished cleanly, putting Thailand ahead 1-0.

By the 23rd minute, Jiraporn Mongkoldee made another impact by scoring herself, doubling the lead following a clever pass from Kanchanaporn Saenkun. Bangladesh then reduced the deficit to 1-2 from a corner kick in the 29th minute, but their joy was short-lived. Only 5 minutes later, Maddison Jett Castine scored with precision to increase Thailand's lead to 3-1.

In the second half, Coach Nuengruthai made several changes to test the lineup. However, Thailand’s attacking strength remained undiminished. Maddison Jett Castine completed her brace in the 54th minute before Jiraporn Mongkoldee successfully converted a penalty in the 58th minute, sealing the 5-1 victory.

Following this win, the team nicknamed "Chaba Kaew" will continue training and aim to defend their gold medal at SEA Games 33, which will be held at home from December 9 to 20, 2025. According to the draw results, host Thailand is placed in a relatively easy group alongside Cambodia, Singapore, and Indonesia.
