Pattaya United slipped to their thirteenth defeat of the current Thai Division 1 league campaign when they lost 1-0 away at Trat FC last Sunday, August 31.
On a heavily rain affected pitch both sides struggled to create any clear cut chances and the only goal of the match came in the 56th minute from Trat’s Japanese striker Seiya Sugishita. Despite United pressing late in the game they were unable to pierce a resilient home defence.

The loss leaves the Dolphins still in tenth place in the standings with 6 games remaining. United’s next league fixture is this coming Saturday, September 6, at home against Nakhon Pathom. Kick off for the match is scheduled for 4 p.m.
