Rajpracha failed to keep up their impressive home form as they went down 1-3 at home to Songkhla in a game that ended farcically.
Songkhla started at a pace as impressive as their traveling support but Raj were equal to it until the first goal went n around the twenty five minute mark with a well placed shot that gave Yen no chance. The lead was extended to nil-two shortly before half time.
Raj came out attacking in the second half but they were caught on the break to make it 0-3 and seemingly game over. As Raj attempted a fight back, a huge storm broke out and within minutes the pitch was waterlogged by an incredible downpour. As the pitch light up from constant flashes of lightening, the game became comical as the ball simply would not move across the water. Players attempted to perform "keepy uppy" and move the ball around with constant small chips but it was very difficult. Raj managed to pull one back but the referee wisely saw that the game should be ended sooner rather than later and blew for full time.
It's probably no coincidence that Raj didn't quite have their usual spark today and highly rated midfielder Sulaiman was watching the game from the stands with a thigh strain. The Raj will need him to be fit soon if they are to finish the season on a high and give any kind of challenge to Muangthong.
