PHUKET: Three minutes is all it took tonight for FC Phuket to score the winning goal - although the game had to run its course before opponents Bangkok United accepted that it was the winning goal.
The neat chip from Sarat U-yen nevertheless gave the ninth-placed Hulks a timely win over fifth-placed United, with the aspirations of Phuket fans growing with every minute.
Next up on September 18 is Songkhla away from home. The last time the two sides met in June, the scoreline was 0-0.
That was in Phuket City, and the game drew a crowd of about 10,000 because so many people from Songkhla live and work on Phuket.
Last night's crowd was slight by comparison, perhaps because FC Phuket seems destined to languish in the middle of the Division One table, or because rain threatened.
In any event, the first goal remained the only score.
