Football under the rainbow


It was a very bright sunny day
  
Clouds threatening to bring rain were burnt off by the sun overhead

  

During the first half
I would have loved to hand an eye chart to the referees.  
Some very noticeable mistakes were made.
At half time the refs needed a full eight man police escort.


 


Second half 
Refereeing was nearly flawless.  Obviously some words were said.
The second half was intense.  
As if both teams just had their 'Wheaties,' or something.


    
  
The Nong Bua Lamphu goal keeper had quite a workout. 
He is premier quality.

Non stop action.  Many close call disappointments.
Three minutes added, still no score.

Crowds were leaving. The stadium was emptying quickly.
One minute to play when Sakon FC...





....cheered and text-ed 
Sakon FC               1
Nong Bua Lamphu 0

The security escort was just ceremonial.  
One officer, not eight
