Ban Hong Po Stadium
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Samak Toyen got the match started through his kick off. Warayut Boonkasemsin showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Kritchawat Nakraksa, who was totally free with the ball in the 5th minute. Anupong Sarata showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Chawalit Bunsongtham, who was totally free with the ball in the 9th minute. After having played for 16 minutes, Kritchawat Nakraksa managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ban Na Kum's supporters crossed their fingers, but Kritchawat Nakraksa was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Kritchawat Nakraksa received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Warayut Boonkasemsin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Watcharane Lohlamoh might have been able to make a better finish in the 24th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Warayut Boonkasemsin. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Watcharane Lohlamoh ran back to his position shaking his head. Warayut Boonkasemsin came out of the goal in the 24th minute to try and stop a shot by Ban Na Kum's Kritchawat Nakraksa. But to his dismay, Kritchawat Nakraksa quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. After 30 played minutes Ban Na Kum got a freekick which was hit by Chanathip Rachasak. A collision led to Ban Hong Po getting a freekick after 35 minutes play. Chanboon Jenkulprasoot hit a great ball. Ekphong Saejung was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 36th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kritchawat Nakraksa in the 38th minute of play forced Ban Hong Po's goalkeeper Warayut Boonkasemsin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ban Hong Po's Chawalit Bunsongtham got a good chance for a goal in the 42nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Ban Na Kum's Kritchawat Nakraksa got a good chance for a goal in the 47th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Chawalit Bunsongtham in the 51st minute of play forced Ban Na Kum's goalkeeper Anupong Sarata to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Samak Toyen took the ball and in the 52 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Anupong Sarata. Anupong Sarata dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. 70 minutes had been played when some careless play by Ban Hong Po's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Ekphong Saejung was slow to take the kick. During this time Ban Na Kum's players had a chance to rest. Wirat Pangput made a great header on Ban Na Kum's corner, it was just that Ban Hong Po's Warayut Boonkasemsin managed to reach the ball for a save. 74 minutes into the match, Ban Hong Po's Samak Toyen sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Anupong Sarata narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Warayut Boonkasemsin didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 79th minute, which inside left pole to 1-2. If Samak Toyen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 88 minutes, Chanathip Rachasak mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Ban Na Kum and the Ban Hong Po players grew even worse after the yellow card. Chawalit Bunsongtham blasted a shot towards the goal in the 89th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Anupong Sarata having to make a save. Tanayot Thongkrachong received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 96th minute. Anupong Sarata tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Ban Na Kum had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
