Thai fans proudly proclaimed after a 9-goal victory, reminding Vietnam of something.

The devastating 9-0 victory over U19 Brunei not only helped U19 Thailand top Group B, but also made fans of the Land of Smiles confidently dream of the Southeast Asian championship.

The U19 Thailand team created a real earthquake in Group B of the 2026 U19 Southeast Asian Championship held on the afternoon of June 2. Facing the underestimated opponent U19 Brunei at Teladan Stadium, Jakkraphan Panpee's squad displayed devastating attacking power.

A brilliant hat-trick from Phattharathon in the first half, along with goals from Itthimon, Pitchaya, Siwakorn, Kongnat, and Natthakit, helped the young "War Elephants" close the match with a resounding 9-0 victory, thereby taking sole possession of top spot in Group B thanks to a superior goal difference.

Immediately after this devastating victory, major football forums in Thailand such as Changsuek were flooded with cheers and praise for the team's dazzling attacking play. The explosion of the front line left fans of the Land of Smiles utterly delighted.

An enthusiastic fan shared: "This is a top-class performance by the young players! Scoring 9 goals without conceding any proves our superior level. This fast and versatile style of play truly excites the fans."

Due to the tournament's extremely strict regulations - only the group winners and the best runner-up advance to the semifinals - this emphatic victory gives U19 Thailand a huge advantage over their arch-rival U19 Malaysia.

Many fans expressed great confidence in their team's direct ticket to the next round: "With a terrifying goal difference of +9 right from the opening match, first place in Group B will surely belong to U19 Thailand. We are not just aiming for a semifinal spot; the only destination for this generation of players is the Southeast Asian championship trophy."

Besides celebrating the victory, the Thai online community also turned their eyes to Group A - where their two eternal rivals, U19 Vietnam and host U19 Indonesia, just had 3-0 victories on their opening day.

Fans of the Land of Smiles confidently declared that the "War Elephants" now have enough strength to crush all obstacles, while sending a stern challenge:

"Watching Vietnam beat Timor Leste 3-0 but struggling, I confidently assert that U19 Thailand is the number one candidate for the crown this year. Wait and see, U19 Vietnam, we are ready to sweep you away if the two teams meet in the knockout round!"
