Thailand produced a great fight back to overcome New Zealand in a testimonial match for Tawan Sripan.

The Thais were a goal down before they equalised and then settled to score two more goals and eventually ran out 3-1 winners.

In Sripan's final match for the Thai national team, he managed to score the second goal before being replaced on the half-hour mark.

The other goals for the Thais came through Teerasil Dangda who netted in the 16th and 71st minutes.

Simon Elliott was New Zealand's sole goal scorer.

Thailand coach Peter Reid was delighted for Sripan and gave him a great send off.

"Tawan is a good example for young players on and off the pitch," Reid told the Bangkok Post.

"At 36, he still can play and play well. I am very happy for him."
