Songkhla FC delivered a ruthless away performance to defeat BEC Tero Sasana 3-0 in a Thai League 2 clash at the BEC Tero Sasana Stadium. The visitors scored three unanswered goals to claim all three points and strengthen their push for promotion, while BEC Tero Sasana were left to rue a series of defensive errors.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, Songkhla FC set the tempo with an aggressive high press that forced BEC Tero Sasana into hurried clearances. The home side struggled to string passes together in midfield, and Songkhla’s front three constantly found space between the lines. The breakthrough came in the 18th minute when Sathit Sriyankem rose highest to head home a precise cross from the right. BEC Tero Sasana briefly threatened through set pieces, but Songkhla’s goalkeeper Kittipong Chaiyaphon was rarely tested.

Key Moments

• 18’ – Goal: Sathit Sriyankem opens the scoring with a powerful header.
• 54’ – Goal: Chaiwat Weerachat doubles the lead with a low drive from the edge of the box after a swift counter-attack.
• 79’ – Goal: Substitute Pattara Piyapat seals the win, finishing calmly after being played through one-on-one.
• 88’ – Chance: BEC Tero Sasana’s best opportunity falls to striker Anucha Kitpongsri, but his shot is cleared off the line.

Tactical Story

Songkhla FC lined up in a 4-3-3 that prioritised vertical passing and quick transitions. Their midfield trio suffocated BEC Tero’s deep-lying playmaker, forcing the home side into long balls that were easily mopped up by Songkhla’s centre-backs. BEC Tero Sasana switched to a back three after the second goal, but the change only left more space for Songkhla to exploit. The visitors’ willingness to press high and attack in numbers proved the decisive factor.

Standout Players

Sathit Sriyankem was a constant menace, not only scoring but also linking play with intelligent hold-up work. Chaiwat Weerachat controlled the midfield with two key passes and a goal, while substitute Pattara Piyapat added fresh energy and a composed finish. For BEC Tero Sasana, goalkeeper Kittisak Boonmee made several fine saves to keep the scoreline respectable, but his defence offered little protection.

Table and Season Impact

The victory lifts Songkhla FC into the Thai League 2 promotion playoff places, closing the gap on the top three. BEC Tero Sasana remain in mid-table and have now gone three matches without a win, increasing pressure on the coaching staff. Songkhla will look to build on this momentum in their next fixture, while BEC Tero must regroup quickly to avoid slipping further down the standings.
