Kanchanaburi 0 - 1 Pat (387134877)

Dark skies made the crowd of 7000 at Kanchanaburi a little nervous, but the rain held off. Juan Carlos Bareyre was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Roberto Arellano and Juvenal Minici. Kanchanaburi tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Starters: Chao Fah - Huunhan, Chatmanee, Santichai, Yod Rak - Sukonta, Kittichat, Chuachan, Khun Mae - Anuman, Kasemchai.

Pat decided to use a 5-4-1 set up. Lineup: 淮民 (Huaimin) - Makman, Chumsai, 若博 (Ruobo), 融明 (Rongming), Thepyayon - Jittakorn, Piemnithikul, Sangtrakarn, Boonpang - 崇国 (Chongguo).

Pat clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. O. Yod Rak of Kanchanaburi was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. S. Anuman almost seemed to dance around K. Piemnithikul, his movements were so smooth. Unfortunately for Kanchanaburi, his finish ended up on the wrong side of the post. The referee showed Pat's N. Makman the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Due to a severely mistimed tackle, A. Chatmanee of Kanchanaburi spent some time on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Pat enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 62 percent of possession.

With 75 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Pat resulted in a counterattack that set 吴. 融明 (Rongming) free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. Pat's K. Piemnithikul got himself booked for a foul. The visitors grabbed the lead after T. Chumsai's free kick succeeded, resulting in a score of 0 - 1. Pat had to make a substitution after 79 minutes. D. Jittakorn limped off the field and was replaced by M. Sudhumma. Pat had most of the ball, with 68 percent of possession.

O. Yod Rak performed admirably for Kanchanaburi. A. Chao Fah turned in a dismal performance, however. Pat's top performer was clearly 谢. 淮民 (Huaimin). W. Sangtrakarn was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
