The number of votes for Supachok's goal against Vietnam increased rapidly in the morning. On many football forums, Vietnamese fans called for votes for this move. Supachok's goal came from a throw-in, midfielder Ben Davis passed to Supachok. From a distance of about 25m, the Thai player shot from a distance that defeated goalkeeper Nguyen Dinh Trieu. This situation caused a lot of controversy when Vietnamese players said that Supachok should return the ball after goalkeeper Dinh Trieu threw the ball out of bounds because a Vietnamese player was lying on the field in pain. Supachok still finished and raised the score to 2-1 for Thailand in the 64th minute and he received a lot of criticism for his fair play spirit. However, in the end, the Vietnamese team beat Thailand 3-2 and 5-3 overall to win the 2024 ASEAN Cup.
