Jakson ‘Jaja’ Coelho scored twice against his former club Muang Thong United as champions Chiang Rai United returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory in Thai League 1 on Wednesday night.
Jakson opened the scoring after five minutes only for Sardor Mirzayev to equalise just before half-time.
The Brazilian striker netted the winner from the penalty spot in the 67th minute.
The result ended Muang Thong’s perfect run under coach Mario Gjurovski, who had claimed two wins in the league and another in the FA Cup.
Chiang Rai, who were upset 2-0 by Sukhothai last week, are second on 26 points, three behind leaders BG Pathum United, who have three games in hand.
