Samut Songkhram remain rooted to the bottom of the TPL after they lost 2-1 to Chonburi at the Army Stadium in Bangkok.
Anderson dos Santos opened the scoring midway through the first half with a header from six yards. The Brazilian was set up by Chonlatit who'd lobbed the ball back form the dead ball line. Pinto for some reason went on a walkabout leaving his net vacant.
Chonburi doubled their tally in spectacular fashion in the 54th minute. An unmarked Thiago was given time and space to direct his bicycle kick past Pinto.
Yusuke Kato pulled one back for Samut Songkhram as he guided Issarapong's cut back past Sinthaweechai.
Despite never looking in danger it was a nervy last 15 minutes for the Chonburi supporters. They were however given a first glimpse of new Portuguese striker Jaime Braganca. I think it's fair to say that it was an interesting introduction from the substitute.
Samut Songkhram remain bottom and on this form it seems like old father time is going to catch up on their TPL status this year. Chonburi are only one point behind league leaders Muanghthong and in this unpredictable season anything could happen.

PTT Rayong 2-2 Chonburi
Chonburi scored deep into stoppage time to secure an unlikely point.
The Sharks started brightly but it was the hosts who took the lead in the
14th minute. The bounce from Yves Desmarets' shot deceived Sinthaweechai
and the ball bounced over the keeper's floundering dive into the net.
The goalscorer was involved in PTT's second goal as they doubled their lead
seven minutes before the break. Desmarets linked up with Sanchez and
the Spaniard's neat turn and shot nestled in the bottom corner of the
net.
Chonburi made a double substitution at half time
but it made little impact as PTT Rayong were comfortably holding onto
their two goal advantage.
However, that changed 19 minutes from time when an unmarked Chakrit halved the deficit following a corner kick.
Another corner from the same spot sparked the play for Chonburi's 94th minute
equalizer. A short corner caught PTT static and Anderson used his head
to guide home a whipped in cross from the right.
The 2-2 draw preserved Chonburi's unbeaten start to the season. For long periods
it appeared unlikely that the Sharks would salvage anything from this
contest. PTT Rayong must be bitterly disappointed not to have won this
game considering they held a 2 goal advantage until the 70th minute. The
two goals conceded from corner kicks must have infuriated their
coaches.
