FOOTBALL: The Ronins drew with 3rd place Bangkok FC on Saturday (August 2) in a see-saw match that kept Phuket FC in 12th place on the Yamaha League-1 table.

Phuket took an early lead with a header by Panupong Aramwiroj in the 28^th minute following a corner kick.

But Bangkok's Valci Junior answered back in the 60^th minute with penalty kick. Just seven minutes later, his teammate, Lee Jae Min, put Bangkok up 2-1.

In the 78^th minute, susbstitute forward Andre Luiz “Andrezinho” Lopez made a beautiful pass through the Bangkok defense to set up a streaking Eber Henrique who scored the equalizer.

Even though Phuket left Bangkok with one point, the Ronins are still in the midst of a five-match winless streak and have only won two out of their last 10 matches.

Phuket FC's next match will take place this Wednesday (August 6) at Surakul Stadium in Phuket Town at 7pm. The highly-anticipated game will be a scrimmage against Spanish La Liga club UD Almeria, featuring Thai national team star Teerasil Daengda. This will be the first time a top flight European club will take on Phuket FC.

The next Yamaha League-1 match will take place this Saturday (August 9) at Surakul Stadium, against Chiang Mai FC. Kick-off is set for 6:30pm.
