Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Park Sinprasertwong made the kick off which started today's match. Tana Likhitmaskul made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Songphop Kheangraeng in the 3rd minute of play. Ban Son Tap Tao's Tana Likhitmaskul played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Songphop Kheangraeng in the 5th minute of play. Wongkot Chaivong fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Theerayuth Kongprasert having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 14th minute, Songphop Kheangraeng managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ban Na Faek Tai's supporters rose to their feet, but Songphop Kheangraeng was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tana Likhitmaskul breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In a very dangerous position, a player in Ban Son Tap Tao fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 16th minute. Penalty! An unexpectedly hard shot by Kanes Lertritsirikul in the 21st minute of play forced Ban Son Tap Tao's goalkeeper Tana Likhitmaskul to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Tana Likhitmaskul took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Songphop Kheangraeng, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 30 minutes into the match, Ban Na Faek Tai's goalkeeper Theerayuth Kongprasert had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Krissakorn Khoojaroen. Sangob Boonreung's late challenge caught a Ban Na Faek Tai's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Sangob Boonreung helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Ban Son Tap Tao getting a freekick after 34 minutes play. Sangob Boonreung hit a great ball. 37 minutes into the game, Nuttaporn Deedom was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Ban Son Tap Tao's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ban Na Faek Tai the free kick. Songphop Kheangraeng recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 39th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Songphop Kheangraeng sent away a hard shot on goal in the 40th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Krissakorn Khoojaroen blasted a shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Theerayuth Kongprasert having to make a save. Theerayuth Kongprasert was out of position in the 44 minute of play, and Wongkot Chaivong capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Wongkot Chaivong really showed his touch with that goal: 1-2. After the first half Ban Na Faek Tai were leading 1-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

In the 58th minute, Songphop Kheangraeng got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. The supporters of Ban Son Tap Tao booed when Ban Na Faek Tai was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 61 match minutes in a wonderful position. Intorn Mumraunthong didn't get a good kick on the ball. Wongkot Chaivong fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Theerayuth Kongprasert having to interfere. After 65 minutes of play Ban Son Tap Tao's Sangob Boonreung was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. In the 69th minute, Songphop Kheangraeng fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Tana Likhitmaskul, passed just outside the right post. Theerayuth Kongprasert stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Krissakorn Khoojaroen's shot from short distance in the 72nd minute. Krissakorn Khoojaroen fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Theerayuth Kongprasert having to interfere. Theerayuth Kongprasert showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Krissakorn Khoojaroen in the 75th minute of the match. If Krissakorn Khoojaroen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tana Likhitmaskul made a fantastic save in the 93rd minute, when Songphop Kheangraeng sent off a good shot on target.
