Match Report: Ayutthaya United 1–4 Port FC
Thai League 1 – Matchday 23 | 10 May 2026

Port FC delivered a dominant performance on the road, thumping Ayutthaya United 4–1 to keep their title hopes alive. The Lions were ruthless in the final third, with four different scorers contributing to a result that lifts them to second in the Thai League 1 standings.

Port FC Control from the Start

Port came flying out of the blocks and took the lead inside five minutes. A clever free‑kick routine found midfielder Charyl Chappuis unmarked at the back post, and he volleyed home with ease. Ayutthaya were pinned back, and Port doubled the lead in the 22nd minute when striker Sergio Suárez turned his marker and fired low into the corner.

Ayutthaya Pull One Back, But Port Respond

The home side briefly threatened when winger Adisak Kraisorn headed home from a corner in the 41st minute, giving Ayutthaya hope going into the break. However, Port restored their two‑goal cushion just seven minutes into the second half – a stunning long‑range strike from Bordin Phala flew into the top corner. The rout was completed in the 78th minute when substitute Nattawut Sombat converted a penalty after a handball in the box.

Tactical Breakdown

Port’s high‑press caused Ayutthaya constant problems, forcing mistakes in dangerous areas. The visitors’ midfield trio dominated possession, and their full‑backs pushed high to create overloads. Ayutthaya, by contrast, lacked organisation in defence and struggled to transition quickly enough to trouble the Port backline.

Star Performers

• Charyl Chappuis (Port): Opened the scoring and controlled the tempo from midfield.
• Sergio Suárez (Port): Held the ball up well and scored a fine individual goal.
• Bordin Phala (Port): Remarkable long‑range strike decided the contest.

Table Implications

Port FC now sit second, level on 50 points with leaders Buriram United, who have a game in hand. Ayutthaya United remain in 12th place – five points clear of the relegation zone – but this heavy defeat will dent their confidence as the season enters its decisive phase.
