Notes
- Fastest hat-trick in Thai league history at 9 minutes. Ikhsan's 4 goal haul in 11 minutes placed him only 2nd in the fastest goal hauls of the 21st century in top flight league football ahead of Kylian Mbappé's 13 minutes against Olympique Lyonnais in 2018, who also scored 4, and behind Robert Lewandowski's 5 goals in 9 minutes (Lewandowski scored his 4th goal by the 6th minute) against VfL Wolfsburg in 2016.[20]
