Sakon Nakhon Lion 1 Sisaket United 1

There were some exciting moments, many near misses.  Both goal keepers were kept busy. 
More so the Sakon Nakhon goal keeper. 

Refereeing was nearly flawless, something you don't see all that often in this league.

It all happened 15 minutes into the second half. 
Sakon Nakhon had a goal.
The fans came alive with joyful cheer.  

The Victory was short-lived.  Sisaket scored a goal within two minutes, after the Sakon goal, to a unified groan from fans.

Not many fans on the other side of the stadium, obviously due to lack of shade.
There were some ingenious fans with cardboard mannequins who I recognized from my neighborhood

During halftime the foreigners in the crowd, who had been to all games, were awarded fan football jerseys by the team owner.

This year has to be the worst start for Sakon Nakhon.  Looking back, Sakon Nakhon has not done all that great.
