League Play-Off

Ban Nong Ta Noi Stad
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Nitat Labsit took the kick off in the first half of the match. Saritpong Singsay received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 3rd minute. Thanongsak Pimsurin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Nopparat Tuntisirin could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 12th minute of the match, but Yuttasak Saengsri made a huge save. A collision led to Ban Dong Salao getting a freekick after 12 minutes play. Kanes Dechkriwan hit a great ball. Chaisiri Whanmanee might have been able to make a better finish in the 16th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Thanongsak Pimsurin. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Chaisiri Whanmanee ran back to his position shaking his head. An unexpectedly hard shot by Saritpong Singsay in the 18th minute of play forced Ban Nong Ta Noi's goalkeeper Thanongsak Pimsurin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Yuttasak Saengsri stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Nitat Labsit's shot from short distance in the 21st minute. The audience was convinced that Nitat Labsit's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Yuttasak Saengsri was relentless in the 28th minute of the game. If Chaisiri Whanmanee had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Nitat Labsit sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Nopparat Tuntisirin's late challenge caught a Ban Dong Salao's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Nopparat Tuntisirin helped the player get up and apologised. After some fancy dribbling in the 39th minute, Kanes Dechkriwan managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ban Dong Salao's supporters rose to their feet, but Kanes Dechkriwan was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Thanongsak Pimsurin breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Saritpong Singsay stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Yuttasak Saengsri showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Phiphat Teeraworakul in the 52nd minute of the match. After having played for 55 minutes, Nitat Labsit managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ban Nong Ta Noi's supporters crossed their fingers, but Nitat Labsit was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Yuttasak Saengsri stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Nopparat Tuntisirin's shot from short distance in the 60th minute. Yuttasak Saengsri showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Nitat Labsit, who was totally free with the ball in the 65th minute. Nopparat Tuntisirin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Nitat Labsit had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Chaisiri Whanmanee received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 70th minute. Thanongsak Pimsurin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Kanes Dechkriwan during the 72nd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. A collision led to Ban Dong Salao getting a freekick after 72 minutes play. Kanes Dechkriwan hit a great ball. Jeerasit Ritpacharat kicked well hit freekick during the 75th minute of the match. Thanongsak Pimsurin acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 77th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Nirut Kumton. Nopparat Tuntisirin's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Yuttasak Saengsri read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 82nd minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Ban Dong Salao's zone, Nitat Labsit stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Yuttasak Saengsri came out of the goal and Nitat Labsit tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Poonsak Vittayarungruangsri during the 92nd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 92nd match minute, Ban Dong Salao was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Poonsak Vittayarungruangsri to maneuver through the defense. Nitat Labsit struck a weak shot in the 94th minute. Yuttasak Saengsri didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ban Nong Ta Noi. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Ban Nong Ta Noi fully deserved thier win.
