PT Prachuap FC stunned second-placed Ratchaburi with a dramatic 1-0 victory in front of a jubilant home crowd at Sam Ao Stadium on Sunday, as Bruno Vilar’s late header sealed an upset that may reverberate through the Thai League 1 standings.

For 83 minutes, the contest unfolded as a tense, attritional battle. Ratchaburi, pushing to keep pace with league leaders Buriram United, dominated stretches of possession but found themselves repeatedly stymied by Prachuap’s compact defensive setup. The hosts, 11th in the table at kick-off, played with resilience and tactical discipline, absorbing pressure and waiting for their moment.

Key flashpoints punctuated a scrappy first half. Prachuap’s Kittipong Thawornsak picked up an early caution in the 22nd minute for a clumsy challenge, setting the tone for a physical encounter. His afternoon ended prematurely as he was replaced in the 34th minute, likely a tactical switch to avoid a second booking and shore up midfield discipline. Minutes later, Jakkapan Wasungnoen entered the referee’s book, underscoring the hosts’ combative approach.

Ratchaburi’s best opportunities came early in the second period, but their attacking momentum was repeatedly disrupted. Both Akarawin Sorada and Adisak Promrak of the visitors drew yellow cards as frustrations mounted, with Prachuap’s defensive block frustrating the visitors and limiting clear sights on goal.

The breakthrough arrived in the 84th minute—against the run of play and to the delight of the home support. Jakkrit Phasukihan, who had driven Prachuap forward with rare bursts of energy, orchestrated the move that led to the decisive moment. His precise delivery found Bruno Vilar, who climbed highest to steer a powerful header beyond Ratchaburi’s stranded goalkeeper, the net bulging as Sam Ao erupted in celebration.

Desperate for a response, Ratchaburi pushed forward in the closing moments but could not break through. A flurry of late substitutions—including Jakkapan Wasungnoen for Prachuap and Chayawat Srinawong for Ratchaburi—failed to tip the balance. The final whistle was met with elation among the Prachuap ranks: a hard-fought three points, and a first win in four matches.

While Prachuap’s tenacity and timely opportunism claimed the headlines, the defeat leaves Ratchaburi’s title ambitions in check. The visitors remain in second place but lose vital ground in the title race, while Prachuap’s leap in morale and the table may well redefine their trajectory for the remainder of the campaign.
