PHUKET: FC Phuket lost a goal-filled Toyota Cup quarter-final playoff last night to Pattalung FC in an epic encounter that went for more than two hours and drew the anger of Phuket fans.
Bottles were hurled onto the pitch at Surakul Stadium in Phuket City and a security guard was spat upon in unsavory incidents that are likely to be investigated further.
At the end of 90 minutes, the scoreline read 1-0 in First Division Phuket's favor - matching the scoreline from the first leg played the previous week in Pattalung, when the home side was also ahead at full-time.
Last night, the tired players continued their contest. After another surging and dramatic 15 minutes each way, Pattalung led 4-3 - and the anger of some Phuket fans boiled over.
Pattalung, a Second Division club, now goes on to meet Premier League Thai Port FC, who also won last night.
