Chonburi climb to fifth place

Chonburi made a major leap in the Thai League 1 standings as they improved four places to fifth spot after a sensational 3-2 home win over Ratchaburi on Sunday night.

The Sharks wasted a two-goal upper hand as a late penalty gave Ratchaburi a 2-2 tie before Junior Lopez fired home the injury-time winner.

Chonburi dominated the first half by the end of which they were two goals ahead of the visitors.

Their first came shortly before the half-hour mark through Kritsada Kaman before Worachit Kanitsribamphen doubled the Sharks’ edge in the first-half injury-time.

Yannick Boli reduced the deficit early in the second half before Chonburi conceded a late penalty which Yannick converted with ease to level the scoreline at 2-2.
