Pattaya United’s horrendous home form at the Nongprue Stadium continued against Bangkok Glass last Saturday when they lost to a late goal by Peerapong Pichitchotirat.

The visitors took the lead in the 29th minute through midfielder Suphasek Kaikaew who tapped home a right-wing cross after some poor defending by Pattaya.  The Dolphins got back on level terms though on the stroke of halftime as Dyachenko took advantage of some slack marking in the Bangkok area to bundle home a corner kick.

The match looked to be heading towards a respectable draw for both teams until Pichitchotirat fired in a superb free-kick from the edge of the Dolphins area in the 81st minute that left the Pattaya keeper rooted to the spot.

United have now failed to garner a single point from any of their home matches this season and have once more dropped back into the bottom three.  The Pattaya team faces a difficult trip to Chainat this coming Sunday, May 26, with kick-off scheduled for 6 p.m.
