Teerasak Poeiphimai’s hat-trick combined with Supachok Sarachat’s three assists and one goal made Thailand’s team impress football fans across Southeast Asia following their 6-1 win against Chinese Taipei in the 2027 Asian Cup qualification round.
Right after the final whistle, Thai social media exploded with countless praises for the attacking duo who showed incredible chemistry on the field. Fans believe Teerasak and Supachok symbolize the new generation of Thai footballers, perfectly blending youthful energy with refined skill.
Supachok played like a true maestro. Every move he made radiated confidence and precision. The three assists from the player currently active in Japan clearly demonstrated his sharp tactical insight and rare game-reading ability. Not only did he create opportunities for teammates, but he also scored a beautiful goal himself, contributing to Thailand’s biggest win so far in the qualifiers.
Up front, Teerasak Poeiphimai proved why he is regarded as the number one striker for the “War Elephants” at present. His hat-trick showcased not only his cold finishing skills but also his excellent positioning sense and quick decision-making. At just 22 years old, Teerasak has shown remarkable maturity, becoming the greatest hope for Thai football in the coming years.
Thai fans showered many compliments after the match. One wrote: “Supachok controls the game like a conductor, while Teerasak never misses a chance — truly world-class.” Another fan commented: “This is the most fearsome duo we’ve had since the days of Kiatisuk and Dangda. They understand each other perfectly down to every movement.” Many jokingly call Supachok the “brain” and Teerasak the “heart” of Thailand’s attacking line.
Although facing a weaker opponent, fans believe this victory carries significant meaning. It not only solidifies Thailand’s position at the top of Group D but also confirms their standing in the region. Coach Masatada Ishii’s team is showing consistent form, cohesive play, and strong fighting spirit.
When asked about his players’ performance, Coach Ishii expressed pride. He said that the partnership between Supachok and Teerasak exemplifies the flexible attacking style the team aims to build. With this form, Thai fans have every reason to believe the “War Elephants” are closer than ever to securing a spot in the 2027 Asian Cup.
