FC Phuket maintained their 100% home record with a comfortable 2-0 win over Surat Thani. FC Phuket had to do without the suspended Diarra Ali but were still able to put on a match winning performance in the influential midfielders absence.
FC Phuket took the lead late in the second half through Poramut. An FC Phuket corner was only half cleared and centre half Ronnachai collected the ball wide on the right wing. He did well to reach the touch line and even better to loft a cross which fell kindly for the free scoring FC Phuket winger to score with a well taken volley.
A bad tempered game always threatened to deteriorate and it was no surprise when a Surat Thani player was given his second half marching orders for an ill advised elbow.
Kittitach (pictured) soon added a second with a composed finish. FC Phuket broke the offside trap leaving the striker with only the keeper to beat and he made no mistake bending the ball into the corner with an audacious chip.
Moments later the Surat Thani players left the field, seemingly intent on having the game abandoned. Apparently they were unhappy at what they perceived to be the poor lighting at the Surakul Stadium. Visibility did not seem to be particularly poor and after an extensive consultation the officials deemed that the match should continue.
Jagked was promptly forced into action with a smart save from a free kick and then again as a mishit shot threatened to spin into the top of the net from the resulting corner.
With the clock ticking down teenage winger Ronnachai led an incisive FC Phuket counter attack. He whipped in a cross which was erronously ruled offside by the linesman. The referee then compounded the error by showing Ronnachai a second yellow card, presumably for debating the decision. Although the result was not in jeapordy the 17 year old was visibly upset at being dismissed
