 FT   NRFC 3 Ubon UMT United 1

Attendance; 9887.

Well let’s not get too excited, but a fine performance from the Swatcats that leaves them 4^th in the league table. After being stunned by an Ubon goal in the 17^th minute, the home team showed great determination and created chance after chance, being rewarded in the 29^th minute with an equalising penalty from Paulo Rangel.

The second half saw the Swatcats come out fighting and a well crafted goal from Antonio Pina gave them the lead in the 49^th minute. The men in orange continued to surge forward with further chances being created and their endeavours were rewarded with an injury time with a goal from Attapong Nooprom in the 95^th minute.

So let’s enjoy a bit of success. There is definitely an improvement in the performances so far. They were superior in all departments to Ubon in this match and if their home form continues to impress, there is hope of a decent finish.

Another reason to be cheerful is that the fans are coming back. The Swatcat average of over 10 000 is second only to Buriram and if they keep winning at home the crowds will surely swell.
