Chonburi FC advanced to the next round of the Thai League Cup with a 1-0 victory over Thap Luang United at their home stadium. A single goal was enough to separate the teams in a cup tie that was closer than many anticipated. The decisive moment came in the second half when Chonburi finally broke down a stubborn Thap Luang defense with a well-worked team move. Thap Luang, a lower-division side, defended bravely and threatened on the counter-attack but were unable to find an equalizer against their top-flight opponents. This result sees Chonburi progress as expected, but they were made to work hard for their place in the next round. The Chonburi manager acknowledged the challenge posed by the underdogs, while the Thap Luang coach took pride in his team's disciplined performance. Chonburi's starting lineup featured a mix of regulars and squad players, ultimately doing just enough to secure the win.
