Supachok's goal in the 64th minute against Vietnam caused outrage among all football fans, especially in Southeast Asia. Many people think that this action lacks the spirit of fair-play.

The second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final between Thailand and Vietnam on the evening of January 5 witnessed a controversial moment. Accordingly, in the 64th minute of the match, goalkeeper Dinh Trieu threw the ball to the edge because a teammate was lying on the field because of pain. At this time, Vietnamese players stood on the sidelines and waited for the ball to be returned.

However, Supachok launched a "heartbreak" from outside the box to raise the score to 2-1. This goal also made the total final score level to 3-3. Immediately after the scoring situation of the midfielder born in 1998, many fans regretted the lack of fair play from him:

"The goal is too embarrassing. Although the shot was very beautiful, I refused to understand why they didn't return the ball." "With Thailand's position, they need to show a different image. It is better to lose beautifully than to win in such an ugly way"; "In football or sports, the most beautiful thing is still the spirit of fair-play. Today I am really disappointed with Thailand, especially Supachok. I think Vietnam deserves to win the championship"...

It is worth mentioning that, while the majority of Southeast Asian fans disagree, Thai fans support Supachok's decision. User Irada Cheewungkam commented: "I don't care, it's a valid goal. There are no rules that force players to return the ball." Another user commented: "The fault of Vietnamese players is not with people. The goal was reasonable even though the referee did not support us today."

By the morning of January 6, Supachok's personal pages and fanpages on Facebook suddenly "evaporated". On the Instagram platform, the Thai player must also activate the comment limit mode to avoid receiving more "bricks" from fans. In the latest post, he was criticized for not playing fair-play in the goal to raise the score to 2-1.

When Supachok disappeared, fans began to flood the personal page of Benjamin Davis - the midfielder who opened the goal for Thailand in the second leg final. "You don't deserve to be professional players," one account said.

Hoang Duc, Quang Hai and Thanh Chung of the Vietnamese team also simultaneously refuted Supachok's goal. Thanh Chung said: "They are professional players, so we are very annoyed to see the opponent score in such a way."

However, according to the law, Thailand and the referee are not wrong. In this kind of situation, the players will usually return the ball. However, the combination of Davis and Supachok that led to the goal was an unsportsmanlike situation, despite all for the sake of scoring.

Previously, there was a similar situation that occurred in the Leeds match against Aston Villa in the 2019/20 Premier League promotion play-offs. Aston Villa players took the initiative to stop when there were Leeds players on the field. Even so, Leeds still squandered and scored. After that, coach Marcelo Bielsa asked his students to return the goal to Aston Villa because of sportsmanship.

Explaining more about the decision of the Korean referee - Ko Hyung Jin, a former FIFA referee of Vietnamese football spoke up: "Thai players did not follow the spirit of fair-play, when they did not return the ball to the Vietnamese team".

"However, in terms of the rules, they are not wrong, the referee also does not break the rules when recognizing the home team's goal. According to the law, Thai players have the right to return the ball or not to return the ball. The goal is therefore recognized if there is a Thai player putting the ball in the net," the former FIFA referee added.

Having a goal from an ugly situation, the Thai team paid a heavy price when they were defeated 3-2 by Vietnam in the second leg final to be crowned the champion of the 2024 ASEAN Cup (the total score of the two legs was 5-3). This is a worthy achievement for the efforts of coach Kim Sang Sik.
