After 2 draws, Buriram United entered round 3 of Thai League 2019 with a highly rated opponent, Prachuap, the team that defeated goalkeeper Van Lam's Muangthong United in the opening match.
Unlike the previous 2 matches in which Coach Bandovic sent him to the starting lineup, in the match against Prachuap, midfielder Xuan Truong was only on the reserve list. However, this helped Buriram United's playing style to be elegant and control the game well.
Right from the first minutes of the match, Thai League players proactively played with a high formation to soon find a goal to take the lead. Partly because Buriram United have gone 2 matches without a win, partly because of the special order to win 3 points from president Newin Chidchob.
Xuan Truong's team constantly pressed the field, causing Prachuap to only play defensively in large numbers. And if it were not for the brilliance of goalkeeper Natthapong, perhaps Buriram United would have converted their chances into goals soon.
Although he attacked a lot but could not score, Buriram United made 2 substitutions in the second half, however, Xuan Truong has not been used by coach Bandovic.
It was this change that helped Buriram United improve their attacks to score. In the 74th minute, from an indecisive clearance by defender Prachuap, Maiga quickly taped the ball into the net to open the scoring for Buriram United.
A few minutes after the player came on as a substitute, Supachok had a shot from a narrow angle to widen the gap to 2-0 for Xuan Truong's team. This was also the final score of this match, and the midfielder of the Vietnamese team was still not put on the field for the rest of the match.
The 2-0 final victory over Prachuap was also Buriram United's first victory in the 2019 Thai League after only 2 draws.
