Buriram United 0 - 3 Kawasaki Frontale
As I can never really pay full attention to games that I'm watching on a laptop, this is a blog post that is a bit of a mess. I'm toying with the format slightly and this is basically a few things I thought as I watched the match, slightly edited to look less ridiculous.
First half -
Absolutely awful first half of utter shit against a team who on paper look exceedingly average. Although maybe the fact that we are supposedly better on paper shows just how unreliable these kind of things are. No shots on target from either team. And extremely difficult to pay attention to as there are far more interesting things to do, like listening to the rain outside or pondering how many crisps you get in a tube of fake Pringles versus a tube of real Pringles. Perhaps the most exciting thing to watch on the screen is the massive amount of adverts that they have, which is kind of weird considering DAZN is a service that you have to pay for anyway. Need a significant improvement in the second half if we are going to avoid a classic 2024 Oniki Frontale type result in a game most would expect us to win.
Second half -
Start of the second half was so exciting that the most fun was checking where Tabinas’s brother is now playing after leaving Grulla. 60 minutes of utter trash. Presumably the first two changes will be on the 62nd minute as they almost always are regardless of what is happening in the game. And here they are, right on time! Don't say I know nothing! We hit the post which provided a brief blast of excitement but then back to the same old stuff. Finally! A goal! Finally a shot that doesn’t trickle along the floor or go off target. Well done Miura! Five minutes later, there's a replay showing that someone was offside for the goal, apparently unaware that as they were so far away from the action, they clearly weren't affecting play. The ACL continues to be comically tinpot. Good to see the refs know at least a little bit more than the TV people. Kanda comes on for a long overdue debut! And we almost immediately score! And then a goal for Kanda! Kind of amusing as a significant part of the build up was a fantastically mishit pass from him. But who cares? Finally he's been given a chance! Hope we'll see more of him before the season finishes.

Conclusion -
A scoreline that was completely unreflective of the generally poor game, but which was a very welcome one anyway. Three goals in our last two ACL games nicely covering up the fact that we'd only scored one in our first three. Our position in the table looks a lot better now but it's still all quite close. Fingers crossed for the last ACL game we have before the break against Shandong next week. Next up Verdy away on Saturday.
