Sakon FC Yasothon FC 2-2

It was quite noticeable that Sakon FC players had improved their defensive game.  Even though the first half of the game was scoreless, the action on the field was thrilling.

 

Also very noticeable was the new coach.  

Obviously a 'hands on' type of guy, giving his players instructions throughout the game from the sideline.











Both teams seemed to be out for a win during the second half, the action was intense, not just on the field, but also from the cheering fans.  The Sakon Nakhon cheering section has gotten larger and more vocal.

For a while it looked like Sakon FC was going to win this game, but obviously Yasothon players weren't going away as loosers.  The game ended in a tie.

But wait there's more:

One couple decided to bring their pet to the game, quite an unusual sight.  I always thought cats had a mind of their own.  This one seemed quite content inside it's carry on bag.

As for the Yasothon para medic, the guy should be a player, not a glorified water and ice guy.  When he was needed on the field, this guy ran faster than a bullet train.

I wasn't the only one doing a double take at one visitor to the game.  The spitting image of former Sakon Nakhon Resident Ned. A younger version.

Yasothon fans remembered Joey and brought him quite a hefty bag of a Yasothon delicacy, the catch of the day on ice
