Suphanburi hold Buriram in tense draw

Buriram United were yesterday forced to settle for one point after they drew 1-1 against top-flight newcomers Suphanburi FC in the first Thailand Premier League match at the I-Mobile Stadium.

Buriram United’s Surat Sukha, left, streams forward against Suphanburi yesterday.

Buriram started off with the strategy of all-out attack and Ramses Bustos had an early chance but Suphan keeper Kosin Hembut made an impressive save.

Suphan also had a chance but Dragan Boskovic was denied by Sivaruk Terdsungnern, the Buriram keeper, and the teams turned for half-time at 0-0.

After the restart, Suphan striker Diouf Bireme should have put his team ahead but Sivaruk again saved.

The whole stadium fell silent, though, when Suphan went ahead, Suchon Sa-nguandee scoring with a long shot that deflected off Boskovic.

At one goal down, Buriram continued to attack and found an equaliser when Charyl Chappuis's curling corner beat Kosin.

In the closing minutes, Buriram had the momentum and Bustos could have scored an 83rd-minute winner when he was one-on-one against Kosin but the Suphan keeper cleared the ball off the line to ensure the teams ended up sharing the points.

In other matches, playing at home at United Stadium, Chiang Rai United slumped to a 3-1 loss against TOT SC.

Zarco Jelicic put TOT SC ahead in the 26th minute but Chiang Rai United equalised in the 37th minute when Antonio Claudio converted a penalty.

But TOT SC went ahead for a second time in the 56th minute when Mohammad Salvej headed home and Prakit Deeprom added a third goal in the 68th minute after beating the offside trap to score.

Si Sa Ket FC and Chainat FC drew 0-0 at Si Sa Ket Stadium and, at Tinsulanonda Stadium, Songkhla United beat Bangkok Glass 1-0, thanks to Manop Sornkaew's winner.
