Thailand beats Kyrgyzstan 2 0 in the Asian Cup after goals from Supachai Chaided

AL RAYYAN, Qatar (AP) — Supachai Chaided scored both of Thailand's goals in a 2 0 victory over Kyrgyzstan in the Asian Cup on Tuesday. Supachai struck in each half in the Group F game at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium. Thailand dominated and could have scored twice early on when Supachok Sarachat hit the post and Suphanat Mueanta had an effort come off the crossbar.

Supachai made his team's dominance count in the 26th minute when he converted a rebound after Bordin Phala's shot was saved by Kyrgyzstan goalkeeper Erzhan Tokotaev. Supachai scored his second three minutes after the break with another close range finish as Kyrgyzstan struggled to deal with a cross into the box.
