Sakon Nakhon FC trampled by Udon FC



With Udon Thai FC being third in the league, a Sakon Nakhon win was just a fairy tale, but there was hope.  



The game got underway at close to 4:10 after the dust storm had settled
A rain storm moving from southeast to northwest avoided the stadium at the beginning of the game



Thirteen minutes into the Game Udon made the first goal



A second Udon goal came just two minutes later



Just moments after the rains began came a fairy tale moment



Hope for a win, or at least a draw lasted until the last ten minutes of the game with four goals in almost rapid succession
