Bangkok United became the first Thai League 1 side to beat leaders and defending champions Buriram United this season as they edged the northeastern giants 3-2 at home on Sunday night.

The Angels set the pace with Lebanese striker Bassel Jradi (14) and Omani player Muhsen Al-Ghassani (39) giving them a hefty 2-0 advantage.

Supachai Chaided pulled one back for the Thunder Castle in first-half injury time before Guilherme Bissoli levelled the score in the 65th minute.

The game seemed to be heading for a draw but Bangkok United right-wing-back Nitipong Selanon produced the winner in in the final five minutes of added time to seal a victory for the Angels. Buriram remain six points ahead of Bangkok United.

Struggling former champions Chiang Rai United pulled off a stunning upset at home as they edged third-ranked Port 1-0.

Sittichok Kannoo scored the winning goal, but it wasn't enough to drag the Beetles out of the three-team relegation zone.

Meanwhile, another top-four side, BG Pathum United, failed to make the most of their trip to lowly Rayong, settling for a 1-1 draw on Sunday night.
