Bangkok FC 1-1 Songkla

Samuel Danquah rescued a point for Bangkok FC against Songkla as the Bulligans doubled their points tally for the season.

Kaneung Buransook gave the visitors the lead on 16 minutes when he tapped in after Malek's low shot off the post had rebounded to him. It had been a sluggish start to the game and Songkla's goal was the first piece of noteworthy action.

In the second half Solomom Okutu and Santisap Sari were whiskers away with headers as the Iron Bulls pressed for an equalizer.

The Bang Mot side's persistence was rewarded on 76 minutes when Danquah netted after a scramble in the box from a Lee Tuck corner.

A point each was a fair reflection on the 90 minutes and the Bulligans will be happy to have moved off the foot of the table.

Bangkok FC have potential to play better than this and I feel that they just need something to kick start their season. Once that happens they should be able to move up the league table. Songkla were well organized and robust defensively but they look like the don't have that creative spark to maintain a genuine promotion push.

RBAC 1-0 Songkla

A goalkeeping error by Songkla 12 minutes from time proved costly as RBAC snatched 3 vital points in their bid to avoid Division 2 football next season.

Songkla must have been on a high coming into this game after their 4-1 demolition of TPL side, TOT, in the FA Cup during the week.

Two for the price of one
Today's game was a scrappy affair and there were far too many free kicks and stoppages for injuries for the game to flow. It also doesn't help that the Rattana Bundit University pitch is possibly the tightest in the league.

RBAC's goalie, Nuttapon, was twice called into action late in the first half to produce saves to prevent Songkla taking the lead. The first was one for the cameras as he tipped a header from, Wittawat, over the bar, and the second was one he had to dive for to knock a shot around the post from Manop.

Songkla's best effort in the second period came in 72 minutes when a cross from the left was headed inches past the post by, Siroj, with the RBAC keeper rooted to the spot.

Gutted!!
With 12 minutes left, the home side were awarded a free kick 25 yards out. The shot from the dead ball was scuffed by Eric Noah, but the bounce in front of Adirek in the Songkla goal confused him and the ball went through the unfortunate keeper into the net. The Cameroon defender celebrated with a combination of fortuity and delight. You had to feel for the keeper as his body language was disconsolate for the rest of the match. He knew his error had lost his side a possible 3 points.

RBAC are now 2 points from safety. They'll know they didn't play particularly well today, but it's games like these that they have to win if they wish to avoid the drop.

Songkla received another blow as BBCU beat Chiang Mai 1-0 today. They are now 14 points behind Zico's side although they do still have 3 games in hand.

Attendance: 460
