Ban Cha Mu Kha
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Ban Naung Wai's Adiwut Vongdid started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Runchit Khoomracha sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ban Cha Mu Kha's Panuchai Boonmart got a good chance for a goal in the 8th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 11th minute Panuchai Boonmart shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Phuripun Sanghirun saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 20 minutes into the match, Adiwut Vongdid had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Chatmongkon Hangpit. Ban Cha Mu Kha's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Adiwut Vongdid was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Jirapong Phontongtin charged in rather forcefully in the 25th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Jirapong Phontongtin the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Panuchai Boonmart fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Phuripun Sanghirun having to interfere. Phuripun Sanghirun took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Phoowanai Ruchthanatuchaiiakul, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Panuchai Boonmart's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Phuripun Sanghirun read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 44th minute of play. After some careless play in the Ban Cha Mu Kha defense, Adiwut Vongdid kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Chatmongkon Hangpit. The Ban Cha Mu Kha fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Chatmongkon Hangpit should have stopped the shot. After the first half Ban Naung Wai were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Kanawut Samakkarn hit a great freekick 54 minutes into the match. Adiwut Vongdid fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 59th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Chatmongkon Hangpit having to interfere. In the 64th minute, Runchit Khoomracha left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Ban Naung Wai fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-3. In the 68th minute, Jirapong Phontongtin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With a little luck, Ban Cha Mu Kha's Chatmongkon Hangpit got control of the ball when Runchit Khoomracha tried to sneak it across the goal line. Kanawut Samakkarn took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 73rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Chatmongkon Hangpit. Ban Cha Mu Kha's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. When Runchit Khoomracha came up free with the goalie in the 76th minute, the Ban Naung Wai fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Runchit Khoomracha couldn't finish the play. After 78 played minutes Ban Cha Mu Kha got a freekick which was hit by Phoowanai Ruchthanatuchaiiakul. Chatmongkon Hangpit showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Adiwut Vongdid, who was totally free with the ball in the 81st minute. Ban Naung Wai's Phuripun Sanghirun played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Narongsak Makhamkai in the 92nd minute of play. Ban Naung Wai's Adiwut Vongdid got a good chance for a goal in the 98th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The Ban Cha Mu Kha fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Ban Naung Wai were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
