Phuketwan Second Half LIVE
PHUKET: Dudu did did did what he'd done done done before for Phuket FC tonight, winning the match with a goal one minute into extra time.
The Brazilian striker celebrated in grand style, doing a somersault and stripping off his green Phuket match guernsey to reveal an ''I heart Phuket'' t-shirt.
About 2000 excited fans were happy to heart Dudu at Phuket City's stadium, where a blackout in the first half was replaced by a fadeout in the second. Fortunately it wasn't Phuket's fadeout.
Khon Kaen FC gave Phuket serious competiton in the first half but the twelth-placed Division One side proved no match in the end for the Islanders, who are determined bidders for promotion this season.
With the support of Phuket's growing army of fans, the Islanders just might dudu it.
Up next, the Phuket FC squad moves to Bangkok to play Air Force in an FA Cup game on Wednesday, followed by a Division One game against the same team next Saturday.

PHUKET: The stadium in Phuket City where Phuket FC was playing tonight was plunged into darkness about 20 minutes into the match against Isan team Khon Kaen FC.
The match stopped immediately with both the playing arena and the grandstand at Surakul Stadium in blackness.
Jokes were being made about unpaid electricity bills. The lights came back up in about 10 minutes, and the game resumed at 0-0. That was still the score at the halfway mark.
Phuket FC needs to win to move back to the top of the Division One ladder after drawing 0-0 with Nakhom Pathom in an away match on Wednesday.

great win and some good football was played too, we definatly need a bit more of a plan to score goals as banging deep high crosses into the box is only gonna pay off if we play georgi.
but it was a good 1st half performance and we should have been 2-3 goals up by half time....it would be nice to wrap games up earlier but it is so much fun getting injury time goals,
Buzzing!!!!!!!!!
