Sakon FC... just add water

I'll admit, after a disastrous season,  11 losses and 2 draws, I wasn't expecting any miracles.  But then I've always said "this team performs better during the rainy season !!! " 
They've proved me correct.
The heavy tropical downpour began just before the game, during the playing of the national anthem.


   
Mother nature made every effort to help Sakon FC win this game.
Even cheating didn't seem to be below her. With a gust of wind she tried to advance the score from 3 to 9.

The game was the most attended home game of the season


It was an exciting game from start to finish, with a few rain induced comical moments.
Plenty of slipping and sliding.
Unfortunately after the game ended disgruntled Nakhon Phanom fans marred the pleasant atmosphere. 
Police had to temporarily delay the exit of referees from the field.  A full water bottle was thrown at the referees along with verbal abuse. 
Of course the defeat by the worst team in the league was detrimental to Nakhon Phanom  hopes of advancing to the championship pool.

At one point Nakhon Phanom should have received a red card, instead they were given a yellow card.
This was quite understandably, considering the wet conditions of the field.
