League Play-Off

Ban Maideng
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, 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. Damrongsak Boonsong started the match with the kick off. Thanks to some nice moves Manachai Pipatsrisawat could shoot a difficult shot in the 3rd minute, which Pongsatorn Yemyen however easily saved by the left post. If Chaimongkol Tangjitwittayakul had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 8 minutes, Theerapat Sinraparat managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ban Pom Pi Nai's supporters crossed their fingers, but Theerapat Sinraparat was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The audience thought a goal was coming when Manachai Pipatsrisawat got free with Pongsatorn Yemyen in the 11th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 14th minute, Chaimongkol Tangjitwittayakul left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Ban Pom Pi Nai fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Chaimongkol Tangjitwittayakul in the 20th minute of play forced Ban Maideng's goalkeeper Pakin Teanon to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Theraphat Jumpasee had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 25th minute, Damrongsak Boonsong 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. If Theerapat Sinraparat had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Damrongsak Boonsong fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 31st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pongsatorn Yemyen having to interfere. After 36 minutes, Mongkol Onwiset mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Ban Maideng and the Ban Pom Pi Nai players grew even worse after the yellow card. Mongkol Onwiset kicked well hit freekick during the 36th minute of the match. 37 minutes into the game, Chaimongkol Tangjitwittayakul cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Pakin Teanon was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. The Ban Maideng players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Ban Pom Pi Nai were winning 0-2.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Chaimongkol Tangjitwittayakul to make the kick off. Manachai Pipatsrisawat recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 59th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Tawat Thondee fell near the penalty area in the 66th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ban Pom Pi Nai's protests and gave Tawat Thondee a yellow card for diving instead. Tawat Thondee kicked well hit freekick during the 66th minute of the match. Pongsatorn Yemyen made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Damrongsak Boonsong in the 69th minute of play. Pakin Teanon showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Chaimongkol Tangjitwittayakul in the 72nd minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Ban Pom Pi Nai's Chaimongkol Tangjitwittayakul got a free kick in the 73rd minute. Manachai Pipatsrisawat struck a weak shot in the 79th minute. Pongsatorn Yemyen didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ban Maideng. Mongkol Onwiset hit a great freekick 83 minutes into the match. Theerapat Sinraparat received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 88th minute. Pakin Teanon tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 98th minute, Damrongsak Boonsong managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ban Maideng's supporters rose to their feet, but Damrongsak Boonsong was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Pongsatorn Yemyen breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Ban Pom Pi Nai eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
