Right after the opening whistle, the Thai Olympic team dominated the Jordanian Olympic team. The Thai Olympic players played pressingly and did not show any physical weakness to their opponents. Coach Kiatisuk's students continuously launched attacks towards goalkeeper Zeyad Mahmoud's goal.
Under Kiatisuk's leadership, the Thai Olympic team continuously created surprises at the 17th Asian Games.
In the 37th minute, from a beautiful central combination, striker Chanathip Songkrasin, who is known as "Messi Jay", opened the score for Olympic Thailand with a decisive left-footed shot from the penalty area.
With the lead, the Thai Olympic team did not retreat to defend in the second half but continued to confidently launch attacks towards the Jordan Olympic goal. In the 70th minute, after many consecutive shots in the penalty area, midfielder Kroekrit Thaweekarn scored the goal against Jordan Olympic team to seal the score 2-0. This result helped the Thai Olympic team qualify for the semi-finals of the 17th Asian Games.
At the 14th Asian Games in 2002, as a player, Kiatisuk also helped the Thai Olympic team reach the semi-finals but then lost to the Japanese Olympic team with a score of 0-3. The opponent of the Thai Olympic team in the semi-finals of the 17th Asian Games will be determined after the quarter-final match between the Korean Olympic team and the Japanese Olympic team taking place a few hours later./.
