Ever since he set foot in Hanoi during a short exchange program six years ago, Robin Marty, a French student majoring in marine science, has been captivated by the robust life brimming in every corner of the Vietnamese capital city.  “You always see bunches of young girls and boys driving around on their cheap electric bikes gagging and shouting.

But the Golden Star Warriors struggled to make an impression in the opening exchanges against a well-drilled Thai side and it was fitting that Theerathon should put his team in front. The Buriram United midfielder has been one of Thailand’s stand-out performer...
