BG Pathum United 0–3 Buriram United | International Club Friendly
Date: 26 July 2026 | Kick‑off: 19:00 ICT

Buriram United delivered an impressive display to beat fellow Thai League 1 side BG Pathum United 3‑0 in an international club friendly played at the Leo Stadium. Despite the friendly nature of the fixture, Buriram’s dominant performance hinted at serious title ambitions for the upcoming season.

Dominant first half

Buriram took control from the first whistle. Their high‑press suffocated BG Pathum’s build‑up play, and the opening goal arrived in the 14th minute. Forward Supachai Jaided latched onto a long ball, held off a defender, and fired low into the corner. Just before the half‑hour mark, Buriram doubled their lead when midfielder Peeradon Chamratsamee volleyed home from a corner.

BG Pathum struggled to generate any serious threat in the opening 45 minutes, managing only one shot on target. Buriram’s backline, marshalled by veteran centre‑half Pansa Hemviboon, looked comfortable throughout.

Second‑half control

Buriram continued to dominate after the break, and the third goal came in the 67th minute. Substitute Ayub Masika picked up the ball on the left, cut inside, and curled a beautiful effort into the far post. BG Pathum made six substitutions in a bid to change the momentum, but Buriram’s defensive discipline ensured a clean sheet.

Friendly with a competitive edge

Although this was a friendly, the match had an edge typical of meetings between these two Thai giants. No yellow cards were shown, but several robust tackles underlined the competitive spirit. Buriram’s coach praised his team’s intensity: “We treated this like a league match. The attitude was exactly what we need for the season ahead.”

For BG Pathum United, the result is a reminder of the work still required after a transitional summer that saw several key players depart. They face another friendly against Port FC next weekend before the Thai League 1 campaign kicks off in mid‑August.

What it means

• Buriram United look well‑prepared for the new season, with attacking fluidity and defensive solidity on display.
• BG Pathum United will need to tighten up defensively and improve their link‑up play in the final third.
• Friendly results should be taken with caution, but Buriram’s performance was emphatic enough to send a message to their title rivals.

Both clubs now turn their attention to the final round of pre‑season friendlies before the Thai League 1 league season begins at the end of August.
