Quick apology - the sound from Simon in Luang Prabang was not ideal.@ajarnphil's T2 match summaries___________________________Nakhon Pathom 0 Pattani FC 0Kick off was delayed by 30 minutes due to heavy rain but we did eventually get a game - albeit a goalless one. That was a decent away point for Pattani but they remain in the bottom three with just a solitary win from seven outings. Rasisalai United 2 Police Tero 1League leaders Rasisali United's sensational season continues as they defeated Police Tero with an injury time winner from Nattapon Yongsakool. Rasisalai stay top of the pile - and The Monkey Kings are still unbeaten in 7 games.Pattaya United 1 Songkhla 0Pattaya look a decent side going forward. A first goal of the season for Elias Oliveira (from the penalty spot) settled this particular contest and saw Pattaya move up into the top six. They'll be delighted with their campaign so far.Nongbua Pichaya 3 Phrae United 0After starting the season with four straight wins, Phrae are having a serious wobble. Caion's first goal of the season gave Nongbua the lead on 13 minutes. Thanayut and Sarayat added to the tally in the second half.Although Phrae remain in second place, there's a host of clubs now breathing down their neck.Chiang Mai United 3 Chainat Hornbill 4Chainat edged a 7-goal thriller at Chiang Mai United to move up to second in the table. Six of the goals came in a blistering first half, but the contest was decided by an Amarildo penalty in the 71st minute.Trat FC 0 Sisaket United 1Sisaket United are decent on the road and they picked up another three points at struggling Trat FC, thanks to a Felipe Santos goal - his 4th of the season - a minute from time. Sisaket move into the top five but it's looking like another long, hard season ahead for Trat. Khon Kaen United 4 Nakhonsi United 5Another T2 Sunday goal fest provided great entertainment at the Khon Kaen Provincial Stadium. Nanthawat Suankaeo scored a hat-trick for Nakhonsi United as they defeated Khon Kaen in what was probably the shock of the weekend. The 27-year-old ex-Port and ex-BG Pathum striker also managed to put a goal in his own net as well.Mahasarakham 2 Chantaburi 2An injury time strike from the much travelled Chitchanok rescued a point for Mahasarakham at home to Chantaburi. Both clubs - somewhat surprisingly - struggling down at the wrong end of the table.Kasetsart 0 Bangkok FC 2Bangkok FC finally picked up their first win of the season at Kasetsart, but the three points are not quite enough to lift them off the bottom of the table. First half goals from Sittichok and Jarvey Gayosa did the damage. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
