Sakon FC 3, Kalasin FC 2

There was some confusion regarding the starting time.
Depending where you received your information, it was either 4 or 5 PM.
We were in phone contact with some of the players and arrived just as the starting whistle was blown at 4 PM.
Many of the local fans didn't show up until 5 PM, just as halftime ended.
Sakon FC scored early in the game and it seemed no real challenge with a 2 - 0 at halftime.
When the second half started, Kalasin had this burst of energy, as if it was a different team now.
Kalasin quickly evened the score 2 - 2, then their energy deflated.  
Sakon FC was able to win the game 3 - 2, with a final goal.


Sakon FC has two games remaining to the end of the season.  Both home games, one Wednesday and another Sunday


  


Very obvious, Kalasin seems to have much better facilities than Sakon.
An attempt was made to use the new electronic scoreboard, but no one was able to get the numbers right.
After a few attempts the scoreboard was turned off.  
 Must have left the users manual at home. (T.i.T.)




Anecdote:
It rained heavily as we drove through the twisting and winding road of the Phu Phan mountains.
At times traffic was backed up behind slow moving trucks.  It was slow going.
Finally the road opened into a four lane straight away.
Every driver decided to make up time by exceeding the speed limit.
Approaching vehicles all flashed their headlights.
All cars slowed to almost a crawl in anticipation.
And there they were, two cops standing in the middle of the road.
They looked like they were trying to figure out why their hand held radar gun didn't catch any speeders.
Like a Keystone Cops episode.
At least they got every driver to slow down momentarily.
