AFC Women's Asian Cup
The win took Thailand to six points, level with India who lead on goal difference, and the hosts will aim for a third win when they Mongolia on Wednesday, while Iraq play India
Having collected four points from their opening games, Iraq came into the contest brimming with confidence but their defence was breached in the 13th minute after Pichayatida Manowang set Wirunya Kwenkasikum free to score the opener.
Pichayatida doubled Thailand’s lead in the 36th minute with a cool finish into the top left corner before Panittha Jeeratanapavibul struck from distance in first half stoppage time.
Any hope of an Iraq comeback was put to bed when Karnjanathat Phomsri struck in the 58th minute off a counter-attacking move before doubling her tally with a 65th minute penalty.
Wirunya increased her personal tally in the 77th minute before completing her hat-trick with a fine header to cap an impressive outing for Thailand.
