TPL
Chonburi 5-1 Bangkok Utd
Princess Srindhorn Stadium
Attendance 3,663
Saturday 2nd May, 2009
As comfortable as the scoreline suggests. We scored in the first few minutes and then sat back as Utd created a few decent chances before deservedly equalising. However, this seemed to wake up our players and we took back the initiative.
A great solo goal by Nattapong put us 2-1 at half time. A good finish by Kone early in the second half put the result beyond doubt and then the only question was - how many would we score?
We needed to win by a three goal margin to go top (for 24 hours at least) and a super strike by Arthit made it 4-1. We then had a goal disallowed -offside? I couldn't see from the opposite end of the ground.
However, there was still enough time for Anderson to come off the bench to grab the fifth and send us all home happy.
Apart from the result, the highlight for me was seeing Adul return to action. He showed a few good touches in the twenty minutes or so that he was on the pitch.
A large (well behaved) turnout - how nice it is to see all four sides of the ground populated - and a good performance from the team helped to put the problems of the last difficult week behind us.
Roll on next Sunday!
