Singh Tarua got back to winning ways after they edged out Siam Navy 2-1.
It was the away side who started more brightly at the PAT Stadium despite Tarua having an early Christen goal ruled out for offside.
Chutsana opened the scoring in the 8th minute when he finished off from a tight angle while Tarua players were comically colliding with each other inside their penalty box.
The Sattahip side were passing the ball around neatly, but it was the hosts who struck the next goal. After a bout of head tennis in the middle of the park, Leandro turned and smashed a dipping thunderbolt into the top corner leaving Sitphong in the Navy goal standing motionless. Rather noticeably, the Brazilian then ran off and celebrated by himself while the rest off his team mates congratulated each other in the centre of the park.
Leandro almost gave the hosts the lead shortly afterwards when he curled a free kick from an acute angle off a combination of the bar and the post before it bounced out to safety.
After the break, the home side were in the ascendancy and it looked like the next goal would win the contest.
That all important winning goal came 20 minutes from time when a quality slide rule pass from Kiatjareon found Sarawut who then cut inside his opponent and drove home from inside of the box.
Tarua held out for the 2-1 win as the Navy salvage operation never materialized.
Singh Tarua sit top of the table with 15 points yet I think it's fair to say that many of the Khlong Toei Army are still undecided about their fate this season. The defence looks shaky at times and you just wonder where the goals will come from if Leandro's form dips.
Siam Navy certainly won't feature in the promotion race and a lower mid-table finish appears their destiny.
Man of the Match: Leandro Luz - The spectacular goal alone wins him my MOTM

Siam Navy 0-1 Buriram PEA
Buriram PEA’s title quest continued with a narrow victory
over Siam Navy in Sattahip.
It was a typical effective and efficient performance from
the Thunder Castle that wasn’t particularly spectacular for the watching spectators.
Franck Ohandza headed home a free kick to give the visitors the lead on the
half hour mark.
Navy's best chances fell to Wutthichai, but the front man failed to test Siwarak in the PEA goal.
The victory consolidates Buriram PEA’s position at the top of the TPL, where they lead second-placed Chonburi by 13 points.
Navy remain second bottom, two points outside the safety zone.
Ohandza's goal was his 16th of the campaign and he is now second in the TPL scoring charts behind Chiang Rai United's Wasan on 17.
Attendance: 4,300 - that was according to the official stadium announcement. In my opinion, it should have been higher than that.

Thai Port 3-2 Siam Navy
Thai Port beat Siam Navy 3-2 in an entertaining game that in all honesty wasn't one for the football purists. The 90 minutes were noticeable for the absence of Thai Port coach, Thongchai Sukkokee. Apparently he was "mai sabai" although I'm sure that wasn't the real reason for the bearded one's non attendance.
Within a couple of minutes, Navy could have been ahead, but Barbosa's effort hit the base of the post.
On 8 minutes, Thai Port ended their goal drought of almost 500 minutes when Ekkapoom squeezed a shot through the Navy keeper's legs from a narrow angle.
The much maligned, Kim Ba Wi, made an assist for Navy's equaliser. A clearance from Mario rebounded off the hapless Korean and Barbosa held him composure to even matters.
After the leveller, Navy were the better side. On 25 minutes Thai Port fortunately retook the lead. Ekkapoom's cross from the left was in my opinion deliberately punched by Jessada. Justice appeared to be done when his handball landed in his own net.
By the time the half time whistle had been blown, Thai Port were 2-1 up, but worryingly for Navy, they had used their 3 substitutes.
A few minutes after the break, Port were 3-1 up when Jacob found Ekkapoom, and he netted his second goal of the game.
The home side appeared to be holding out comfortably until Munze ran out from his line to collect a ball from a long hopeful punt. He must have thought he'd ran out of his box as he released the ball from his grasp too easily and his resultant blooper left Pisanil Zaa with the easy task off tapping the ball into the net.
The Klong Toei side held out for the victory despite surviving a couple of penalty claims. Ulrich Munze also redeemed himself by pulling off a couple of decent saves.
Thai Port are now 10 points above the drop zone. With only 8 games remaining, that should be just about enough to ensure TPL football for next season.
Siam Navy played some attractive stuff especially through their front pairing of Barbosa and Alex Ruela. However, defensively they look like they will leak goals.
Attendance: 1,800
