The Thailand national team relinquished the King's Cup championship to Iraq by losing with a minimal score.

Despite giving their all and receiving passionate support from the home crowd, the Thailand team failed to retain the 2025 King's Cup trophy. The "War Elephants" were defeated by Iraq 0-1.

The only goal of the match was scored by Mohanad Ali. Notably, he was also the player who committed a rough foul on Chanathip Songkrasin near the end of the game, causing chaos at Kanchanaburi Stadium.

Earlier, Iraq had been reduced to 10 men when Frans Putros received a second yellow card and was sent off in the 76th minute, right after Mohanad Ali scored the match’s sole goal. Later, Mohanad Ali was also shown a red card for deliberately taking down Chanathip. In stoppage time, Iraq was down to 9 players but still managed to keep a clean sheet.
