League Play-Off

Ban Ko Sasiam Stadiu
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Chaiyos Saltikulnukarn started the match with the kick off. Jak Phromglam recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 6th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 9th minute Srivilai Tanchotikul shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Charoen Saengplong saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 11th minute, Srivilai Tanchotikul made a precise shot to the right of Charoen Saengplong. Ban Ko Sasiam's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. When Nirundorn Sinthu fell near the penalty area in the 15th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ban Ko Sasiam's protests and gave Nirundorn Sinthu a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Ban Tung Lahan booed when Ban Ko Sasiam was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 15 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nirundorn Sinthu didn't get a good kick on the ball. Jak Phromglam received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 24th minute. Pongsin Detchthamarith tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 27 minutes, Pairach Saeoung mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Ban Ko Sasiam and the Ban Tung Lahan players grew even worse after the yellow card. Srivilai Tanchotikul received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 30th minute. Charoen Saengplong tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Srivilai Tanchotikul had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Siriroj Langsanam fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pongsin Detchthamarith having to interfere. 42 minutes into the game, Chalermsak Kaithongcum was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Ban Tung Lahan's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ban Ko Sasiam the free kick. In the 44thth minute of the game Siriroj Langsanam who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Ban Tung Lahan's Pongsin Detchthamarith was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. With a little luck, Ban Tung Lahan's Pongsin Detchthamarith got control of the ball when Jak Phromglam tried to sneak it across the goal line. Chaiyos Saltikulnukarn fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 49th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Charoen Saengplong having to interfere. After the first half Ban Tung Lahan were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The wind increased when Siriroj Langsanam made the kick off in the second half. Pongsin Detchthamarith came out of the goal in the 55th minute to try and stop a shot by Ban Ko Sasiam's Jak Phromglam. But to his dismay, Jak Phromglam quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. A collision led to Ban Ko Sasiam getting a freekick after 61 minutes play. Nirundorn Sinthu hit a great ball. Dusit Saibunkamol was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 62nd played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. An unexpected shot in the 65th minute by Chaiyos Saltikulnukarn got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Jak Phromglam recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 68th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 70 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Ban Ko Sasiam! When the match had been going on for 72 minutes, Ban Tung Lahan's Dusit Saibunkamol got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Charoen Saengplong. Kowit Jammuang's late challenge caught a Ban Tung Lahan's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Kowit Jammuang helped the player get up and apologised. Kowit Jammuang hit a great freekick 77 minutes into the match. Ban Tung Lahan's Dusit Saibunkamol couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 77th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Ban Ko Sasiam. Jak Phromglam scored 2-2 in the 85th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Pongsin Detchthamarith, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Chaiyos Saltikulnukarn in the 90th minute of play forced Ban Ko Sasiam's goalkeeper Charoen Saengplong to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Charoen Saengplong took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Chaiyos Saltikulnukarn, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Ban Tung Lahan's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
