Later, he made another mistake, jumping off the ground and kicked his defender straight into the face, which led to Thailand's second goal. Vietnam eventually lost 0-3 and was eliminated. He was heavily criticized by the media and since then has never gotten a chance to play for the national team at any level.[2][3]
