Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Athip Hattapumigasaid kicked off to start the match.

The referee showed Kasiphop Silachai the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After some fancy dribbling in the 7th minute, Songsurapan Tankeur managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kok Sabah's supporters rose to their feet, but Songsurapan Tankeur was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Kriangsak Pimphapun breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Kriangsak Pimphapun showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Park Noipoung, who was totally free with the ball in the 9th minute.

After 13 played minutes Ban Lat Pom got a freekick which was hit by Kasiphop Silachai. 24 minutes into the game, Yongyuth Leangkonkit was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

After a rather tough play, Ban Lat Pom's Yongyuth Leangkonkit got a free kick in the 24th minute. 25 minutes into the match, Kok Sabah's Suban Jamsiriphom broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide.

Kriangsak Pimphapun tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Park Noipoung had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Kiattisak Lumjung fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anan Nakbenja having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Kok Sabah's zone, Kiattisak Lumjung stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Anan Nakbenja came out of the goal and Kiattisak Lumjung tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ban Lat Pom's Kiattisak Lumjung got a good chance for a goal in the 44th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Anan Nakbenja made an important save on a dangerous shot by Kiattisak Lumjung in the 45th minute. Kok Sabah's Anan Nakbenja played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Athip Hattapumigasaid in the 47th minute of play. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Kiattisak Lumjung sent away a hard shot on goal in the 56th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 59 minutes, Park Noipoung managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Kok Sabah's supporters crossed their fingers, but Park Noipoung was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Pipat Siriprom fell near the penalty area in the 61st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Kok Sabah's protests and gave Pipat Siriprom a yellow card for diving instead. Pipat Siriprom hit a great freekick 61 minutes into the match. In the 66th minute, Park Noipoung 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.

With an extended leg and a bit of luck Anan Nakbenja prevented the ball from getting in the gole.
