INCHEON, 29 September 2014 The Thai national football team yesterday defeated Jordan 2-0 to book a place in the semi-final round of the 17th Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea.

The Thai team was able to extend the lead to 2-0 in the second half when Kroekrit Thawikan fired home in the 70th minute after the Jordanian defense had desperately kept two earlier attempts out of the net.
Thailand will play Korea Republic in semi-finals tomorrow, September 30th.
