So Buriram are mortal after all, as they finally recorded their first defeat of the season, at the 16th time of asking, when they went down 1-0 away to Sisaket FC. Still the surprise defeat will probably have little effect to their title charge in the long run as all their closest challengers failed to take advantage of this unusual slip. Second place Chonburi could only manage a 1-1 draw at home to bitter rivals Muangthong United, which means they remain seven points behind Buriram with only one game in hand. Meanwhile, Police United who started the weekend in third, also failed to make inroads losing 1-0 at home to a resurgent Thai Port, who registered their third straight win courtesy of Ekkachai Sumre’s second goal in as many games.
The Police loss means Bangkok Glass move into third after a relatively comfortable 2-0 away win at Khon Kaen. Army United battled back from two goals down to secure a point in a thrilling 3-3 draw at home against Pattaya United but there was little to cheer about for the other Bangkok-based teams. BEC’s terrible run continued, despite home advantage, as they slumped to an embarrassing 3-1 defeat against Osotspa M-150 Saraburi, while TOT went down 2-0 away to Chiang Rai.
