Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, 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. Wati Pongsripacha started the match with the kick off. 4 minutes into the match, Ban Thap Kradat's Wittayu Chawkhamket broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Komen Rujikiatkamjorn hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. Krerkchai Khotchasing showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jakrapong Pantakua in the 11th minute of the match.

Krerkchai Khotchasing tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Jakrapong Pantakua was the one to do the kick off. If Jakrapong Pantakua had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Wati Pongsripacha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Ban Thap Kradat's zone, Jakrapong Pantakua stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Krerkchai Khotchasing came out of the goal and Jakrapong Pantakua tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Jakrapong Pantakua had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Chayatit Phimsalee struck a weak shot in the 95th minute. Krerkchai Khotchasing didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ban Mea Loi.

Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Ban Thap Kradat eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
