King's Cup 2019, India 1-0 Thailand: 5 Hits and Flops

#5 Hit - Sumanya Purisai

Sumanya Purisai

Sumanya Purisai started through the left wing, but drifted inside during the second half. The Thailand International was a constant headache for Rahul Bheke as he produced some neat and tidy passes to split the backline of India.

Thai forwards had many promising positions, but they lacked incisiveness in the final third. That was a major downfall in their game.

Purisai was linking the midfield and attack in the second half and did not look as effective as he did in the first half.

The 32-year-old was constantly threatening by slotting crosses from the left hand side, but the forwards were struggling to find their final touch, which mattered the most.

Individually, Purisai had an extraordinary game, but the whole side let him down.

He took set pieces, but none of the air balls was able to go past Sandesh Jhingan and Adil Khan. The duo dealt with the air balls exceptionally to dent Thailand's hopes of scoring.
