They are in agreement that night time temperatures will dip into the upper teens Monday night. Night time temperatures should remain cool till the following weekend. Average cold forecast are from 17 to 19 C. Thai Meteorologic Department forecasts an overnight low of 13 on November 1. That may well be high up in the mountains but doubtful in the valley

U19 Sakon Nakhon FC hosted Mahasarakham

It was an exciting game for sure with some unexpected events.  Game start was delayed possibly because someone may have forgotten to call the ambulance service.
Game got underway thirty minutes late.

Sakon FC made the first score just one minute into the start of the game. A second score a dozen minutes later



Mahasarakham was able to get in one score a few minutes later

The game was lively with the occasional scuffle with other players stepping in to avoid a boxing match

The game was stopped temporarily due to heavy winds, heavy rain and thunder and lightening.

Immediately after the rain a referee had to be rushed to the hospital due to a head injury which appeared to have occurred during the heavy downpour

Sakon FC inflicted a final goal  for a 3-1 win

One of the attending suits had to assume the duties of the injured referee.  Even though he tried his best it was obvious it was not part of his normal duties.  He noticed he had the wrong exiting number and corrected it with a chuckle
