Struggling defending champions Buriram United continued their revival in the Thai League as they claimed the sole possession of fourth place following a hard-fought 4-2 victory over Pattaya United yesterday.
Buriram spent most of the first half trailing the visiting Pattaya United squad by a goal, scored by Junior Negrao in the third minute.
Bruno Moreira's equaliser late in the first half followed by an Anon Amornlertsak strike in the second put Buriram on course before an own-goal by Pattaya's Thanasak Srisai swung the game decisively in the home team's favour.
Junior Negrao pulled one back for Pattaya but Buriram quickly regained their two-goal advantage through Anawin Jujeen.
In another match yesterday, hosts Chainat rallied from a goal down to edge Chiang Rai 2-1.
