Match Report
An excellent result. Three more points and three more goals. Bangkok Glass only drew so it's been a good day so far.
First half we looked very comfortable. Kone scored a well worked goal, we had another disallowed and a strong claim for a penalty turned down.
NP played some neat and tidy football at times but, apart from a cross/shot that hit the top of the bar, never really threatened.
Chonburi started the second half fantastically. A lovely solo goal by Pipob early on looked like the signal for the floodgates to open. He's sure got his confidence back after his two goals during the week. During the next 15 to 20 minutes we played some brilliant football and a big win seemed certain.
However, the visitors worked hard to get themselves back into the game and, but for some woeful finishing, could have nicked an unlikely point.
Thankfully, Maruyama Yoshiaki headed home an Arthit corner (one of about 15 we had in the match) and the collective relief was the cue for the celebrations to begin.
The only downside to the day was a serious injury to Suree, who was taken to hospital midway through the first half. I don't have any news at the moment, but I hope he's OK.
The crowd was announced as 4,500 - I would have put the figure a little higher - and there was a good atmosphere. I'd say about 50 fans had made the trip from NP.
