Southeast Asia Thailand

Six most memorable World Cup wins in Southeast Asia football history

3. Lebanon 1-2 Thailand (World Cup 2002 qualification)

It was the home draw with Lebanon in Bangkok that sent Thailand into the final round, but this battling away win in Beirut was the reason why a draw was sufficient.

Peter Withe’s men produced a miracle and came from behind to victory. Seskan Piturat equalized before current coach of the national team Kiatisuk Senamuang scored the winner for Thailand.

The War Elephants earned their place in the final round with this historic win, the first Southeast Asian nation to achieve this feat since Indonesia in 1986.
