In this match, Luong Xuan Truong was placed in the starting position as a central midfielder. During the first half of the match, the player born in 1995 did not have much playing space, as he was often put under pressure by opposing players.
However, the midfielder from Tuyen Quang still tries to play well. The typical long opening lines to create opportunities for teammates are the main impressions that Xuan Truong left.
However, when stuck in scoring, Head Coach Buriram was forced to take Xuan Truong off in the 53rd minute and replace him with striker Pedro Junior with the goal of increasing the strength of the attack.
The match was then dramatically postponed by Buiram and Chonburi. buri Chon took the lead with a goal by Kanitsribampen just 5 minutes after Xuan Truong left the field.
However, the red card of the two players Nattapong and Lukian caused Chonburi to lose the advantage. They let Buriram score 2 goals in a row thanks to Sarachat's double in less than 2 minutes from the 65th to the 67th minute.
However, Xuan Truong's team still could not keep the result when the 90 minutes ended. They let Thaweekarn score in the 77th minute to seal the score at 2-2, thereby causing both teams to end the opening round of Thai-League with the same score.
In the next round, Xuan Truong and his teammates Buriram will travel to visit Suphanburi exactly 1 week later. The team of the midfielder from Tuyen Quang also entered the continental arena with the confrontation with Urawa Reds (Japan) in Group G of the AFC Champions League.
