Bolingi sealed his brace in the 57th minute when he had time and space to chest down the ball and fire in from close range. Brazilian forward Tardeli Reis netted the consolation goal for Pitchaya six minutes after the hour mark when he pounced on a defensive mishap by Buriram to fire the ball home. Timbe drilled the final nail in Pitchaya’s coffin in the 88th minute when he received a pass on the left flank and drove into the box before slotting the ball past the keeper for his third goal since joining the side.
