TPL

BEC Tero 1-1 Suphanburi
Buriram Utd 1-1 Muangthong Utd
Chiang Rai Utd 0-0 Songkhla Utd
Osotspa Saraburi 0-0 Bangkok Glass
Ratchaburi 3-0 Pattaya Utd

The current league leaders and the defending champions had to settle for a point each as they drew 1-1 at the I-Mobile Stadium. Both of the second half goals came from the penalty spot with Osmar Ibanez netting for Buriram and Mario Gjurovski for Muangthong. The draw keeps Buriram three points clear of MTU and the Thunder Castle would win the head-to-head should the duo finish level on points come November.

It was also 1-1 in Minburi between BEC Tero and Suphanburi. Suphot's 83rd minute low drive spared the blushes of teammate Decha after he'd put through his own net.

Ratchaburi continue to pull away from danger after they eased to a 3-0 win over Pattaya United. A Douglas penalty midway through the first half sent the Dragons on their way. Pattaya were reduced to ten men in the 29th minute when Theerayut was given a second yellow card following a rash challenge on Eakarat. Ten minutes after the break Obregon scored from close range to end the contest. The Dolphins miserable day was complete in the 67th minute when Cordero cheekily chipped a penalty to make it 3-0.

Chiang Rai's point in the goalless against Songkhla wasn't enough to lift them out of the bottom three. Worrying times are ahead for the northern club as their next two fixtures are against Buriram and Muangthong.

It was also blank in Saraburi between Osotspa and Bangkok Glass. BG's Amnaj was red carded in the 52nd minute, but Osotspa couldn't press home their man advantage.

Division 1

Khon Kaen 2-2 Siam Navy
Krabi 0-0 Rayong Utd
Phuket v Nakhon Pathom Utd
Rayong FC 0-0 BBCU

The Rayong clubs remain in deep trouble after the pair submitted 0-0 draws. Siam Navy are also still in dark waters after they threw away a 2-0 lead in Khon Kaen. Goals from Chusana and Kojima had the Sattahip club in front, but Recio reduced the deficit before Nakahara Shogo's penalty levelled proceedings 12 minutes from time.

Teco's first match at the helm of Phuket ended successfully with a 2-0 victory over Nakhon Pathom United. Kornprom's first half injury time strike gave the Islanders the lead and Alex rattled home a free kick after the break to secure the three points.
