An undermanned Thailand squad broke the hearts of Azkals U19, 3-2, at the Asian Football Confederation U20 Asian Cup 2023 Qualifiers at the Al-Saadah Sports Complex in Salalah, Oman, on 17 September.

With the score tied at 2-2 and the Thais playing with 10 men inside the pitch, Peeranan Buakai scored the winning goal in the 89th minute.

The War Elephants remained undefeated in Group G after two games.

Martin Joshua Remiño scored the first goal of the match in the seventh minute, before Thai midfielder Thanakrit Laorkai countered an equalizer in the 14th minute.
