The home team struggled to create clear‑cut chances, managing only a handful of shots from distance.
Key Moments
- 27th minute – Dhurakij Pundit take the lead: A slick combination down the left flank ended with a low cross that deflected to Kittisak Panya, who swept the ball first‑time into the far corner from twelve yards.
- 62nd minute – Second goal via penalty: After a clumsy challenge in the box on Dhurakij’s striker Thawat Janthong, the referee pointed to the spot. Midfielder Anon Suwannarat stepped up and calmly sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to double the advantage.
- 85th minute – Red card for Rajamangala: The home team’s frustration boiled over when defender Panthip Thongdee received a second yellow card for a reckless tackle, leaving his side a man down for the final minutes.
Tactical Story
Rajamangala University Technology Krung Thep lined up in a 4‑2‑3‑1 formation, expecting to dominate possession on their own pitch.

After the second goal, Rajamangala became disjointed and their attacking intent was nullified by a disciplined away defence.
