Berlang Ndebi-Nlome scored the game-winner in the 82nd minute of the match with a long range shot from the far right side of the penalty box. The shot was the culmination of several attempts on goal for Berlang throughout the match, including a rebound header that soared over Thai Honda's keeper' in the first ten minutes of the match.
Goals by Patipat Armartantri (68th minute) and a first half penalt by Andres Luis “Zinho” Rodrigues Lopes (40th minute) rounded out the goals by Phuket FC.
The team was down 2-1 in the second half after two goals by Gaston Raul Gonzales helped put Thai Honda ahead. Gonzalez struck first in the 20th minute by taking advantage of a sloppy defensive clearance. His second goal came in the waning moments of the first half with a well-placed header from a corner kick.
Still, Phuket FC's resiliency shone through as the Ronins battled back to take over possession from the start of the second half.
The win was the first for the team since their 1-0 win at Trat FC in the season opener (February 14). Phuket's earned three much-needed points and have climbed to 10th place (7 points) on the Yamaha League-1 table in the early part of the season.
The Ronins now have a three-week break, with the next Yamaha League-1 match to take place on April 4 (kick-off 7pm) against Pattaya United at Surakul Stadium in Phuket Town.
Meanwhile, the Ronins announced plans to play a friendly match against Thai Premier League team SCG Muangthong United FC on Sunday, March 22, at 7pm.
