Southeast Asia Newspaper predicts the final result of Buriram

The second leg of the Southeast Asian Cup C1 final will take place at 7:30 p.m. tonight (May 21), at Chang Arena (also known as the Thunder Castle Stadium) in Buriram (Thailand). In the first leg, the two sides drew 2-2 at Hang Day Stadium ( Hanoi ), on May 14.

If the second leg of the final ends in a draw, the two teams will play extra time. If the extra time also ends in a draw, the two teams will decide the winner by a penalty shootout.

Before the match, Thailand's leading daily Thairath said: "Captain Nguyen Quang Hai of CAHN Club affirmed that he will defeat Buriram United in the second leg to win the Southeast Asian C1 Cup."

"Meanwhile, Buriram United captain Theerathon Bunmathan revealed that the Thai team will play offensively against the representative from V-League, in the match taking place tonight.

The Thunder Castle Stadium is ready to welcome the final match of the Southeast Asian Cup 1, and the home audience is also ready to cheer for Buriram United," added Thairath newspaper.

Meanwhile, in another article also published by Thairath, the newspaper reported that Thai football "legend" Kiatisuk Senamuang visited and encouraged the away team right before the second leg of the final.

This is considered a very surprising move, because "Thai Zico" has never visited Buriram United Club, around the final of the Southeast Asian C1 Cup.

Thailand's leading daily newspaper revealed: "Zico went to the CAHN club's training ground to encourage coach Mano Polking and the visiting team's players as the team prepared to play Buriram United. CAHN is Zico Kiatisuk's former team."

"The atmosphere of this meeting was very warm and friendly, right before the second leg of the Southeast Asian Cup final taking place on the evening of May 21," Thairath added.

Another Thai newspaper, Siam Sport, shared: "In the first leg a week ago, CAHN Club twice led Buriram United, but the V-League team missed the chance to win."

"In the second leg at Buriram United, CAHN Club will certainly be under a lot of pressure, but the away team is ready to fight. Buriram United is facing a tight schedule (after the Southeast Asian Cup C1 final, Buriram will continue to play the Thai FA Cup final on May 24 and the Thai League Cup final on May 31).

However, Buriram United has a very strong squad, the Thai team is capable of rotating the squad for the finals ahead of them," are still the lines written in Siam Sport.

Meanwhile, the ASEAN Football website, which specializes in Southeast Asian football, called on football fans in the region to be ready to watch the match between Vietnamese football representatives and Thai football representatives: "The second leg of the Southeast Asian C1 Cup final between CAHN Club and Buriram United is ready. The ball will roll at 7:30 p.m. tonight."

According to information from this media channel, Buriram United has two new players, right before the match with CAHN Club, including Thai national team center back Elias Dolah and Indonesian national team left back Shane Pattynama. However, the two players have not yet registered to participate in the second leg of the Southeast Asian Cup 1.
