Lamphun — In a pulsating Thai League 1 encounter at the 700th Anniversary Stadium, Lamphun Warrior and Muangthong United produced a gripping 2-2 draw, with both sides trading blows in a seesaw battle that showcased attacking flair and rising tension right through the final whistle.

Lamphun Warrior struck first, setting the tone early through M. Osman, who found the net in the 9th minute after a well-worked move and a telling assist from A. Yodsangwal. The hosts’ celebration was short-lived, however, as Muangthong United responded instantly. Just four minutes later, K. Dunnwald-Turan slotted home the equalizer, expertly finishing after K. Khamyok’s incisive through ball.

The pendulum swung toward Muangthong before halftime, with A. Ahannach making it 2-1 on 41 minutes as the visitors capitalized on sustained pressure and a defensive lapse in the Lamphun back line. The first half concluded with Muangthong holding a narrow advantage, but the story was far from over.

Lamphun Warrior emerged with renewed purpose after the break, pressing high and unsettling the Muangthong defense. Their efforts were rewarded in the 51st minute when A. Yodsangwal, already with an assist to his name, drew the sides level. Ralph’s vision and delivery unlocked the defense, allowing Yodsangwal to finish from close range and ignite the home crowd.

As the intensity ramped up, tempers occasionally flared. A flurry of yellow cards underscored the contest’s competitive edge: Willen Mota and T. Lated entered the book for Lamphun in the 55th and 60th minutes, while Muangthong’s J. Strauss and T. Do saw yellow in the late stages—proof of the relentless midfield battles and hard challenges.

Both managers turned to their benches in search of a winner, orchestrating a series of substitutions to inject fresh legs. S. Singmui came on for Lamphun at halftime, while Muangthong sought late impact from K. Tasa and J. Sattham as the game wore on.

Despite half-chances at both ends and near misses in added time, neither side could break the deadlock. After 97 frenetic minutes, the referee’s final whistle confirmed a point apiece—a reflection of both teams’ determination and the razor-thin margins at this level.

For Lamphun Warrior, the draw ends a run of losses against Muangthong and hints at a newfound resilience. For the visitors, it’s a missed opportunity to close the gap on the frontrunners, but their attacking potency remains undeniable.
