Sakon Nakhon FC 1 - - Mukdahan FC 0

A heavy rainstorm arrived in Mukdahan before we did.   By the time we arrived it was just drizzling.  Drain pipes where overflowing, spilling water on low lying streets and fields.  

With the field drenched there was plenty of slipping and sliding adding an occasional comedic moment.
The Sakon Nakhon goalkeeper had been replaced for this game.  The replacement foiled all goal attempts by Mukdahan.  It was a good game, but from the looks of things I thought both teams were going from this game with a draw.  Then in the last ten minutes Sakon Nakhon scored

Lost in translation

Not lying! Sakon lean year by 50 million
 It's an interview at Siam Sport in regard to Sakon Nakhon FC.  The article is in Thai and the translation appears to be mangled.   
Sakon Nakhon FC isn't doing that great when you look at the wins and losses.  An infusion of donors with deep pockets may improve the situation next year 
"Bad Gig" 
"He confirmed that next season will be backed by nuclear power plants... with a budget of 50 million..."
