Haiphong:
Janista Jinantuya scored a hat-trick and Madison Casteen netted twice as Thailand continued their perfect start to life in Group A at the ASEAN Women’s MSIG Serenity Cup™ 2025 on Saturday with a 7-0 thrashing of Cambodia at Lạch Tray Stadium.
Second-half substitutes Thawanrat Promthongmee and Ploychompoo Somnuek were also on target as Thailand followed up their opening 7-0 win over Indonesia with another comfortable win.
The result puts Futoshi Ikeda’s side on the cusp of the knockout rounds as the country pursues a record-extending fifth title while the Cambodians are staring at elimination having also lost their first game against Vietnam.
The Cambodian defence showed few signs of the capitulation that was to come when they kept out Thailand in the 24th minute. Rinyaphat Moondong’s cut-back from the left was met by Casteen, whose shot was kept out by Chen Soveat and the goalkeeper then saved from Janista.
By the 38th minute, however, Casteen put Thailand in front, latching onto Pichayatida Manowwang’s pass from the right before cutting onto her left foot and stroking her shot into the bottom corner.
Less than two minutes later the Thais doubled their lead, Janista surging down the left channel and crashing an unstoppable right-foot shot beyond Soveat.
Rinyaphat’s free-kick late in the half hit the crossbar as Thailand’s dominance grew and the third came seconds before the interval when Casteen pounced on another error by the Cambodian defence.
Two minutes after the restart Janista slammed in the fourth from a low cross by substitute Pattaranan Aupachai and Thawanrat rolled in the fifth with 20 minutes remaining following Pluemjai Sontisawat’s incisive through ball from deep.
Ploychompoo bent her free-kick over the Cambodian wall and into the top corner to continue the rout in the 81st minute and Janista completed her hat-trick in the final minute after Pattaranan’s attempt had come back off the post.
