Chiang Rai lift FA Cup for third time
Missed penalties dash Chonburi’s title dream
Chiang Rai United edged Chonburi 4-3 in a pulsating penalty shoot-out following a 1-1 stalemate after extra time in the FA Cup final on Sunday night.
For Chonburi, Eliandro and Kroekrit Taweekarn were the culprits as they missed from the spot, while Shinnaphat Leeaoh failed to convert the fourth shot for the Beetles.
The third-time FA Cup champions received five million baht in prize money and, more importantly, earned a place in the 2022 AFC Champions League group stage where they will be joined by this year’s Thai League 1 winners BG Pathum United.
Buriram United and Port have qualified…
