Rayong FC chairman Satit Pituthecha questioned the referee's performance after his side's 3-2 defeat to Buriram United in the latest Thai League fixture. Rayong had taken the lead twice, with Joao Felipe scoring both goals, before he received a second yellow card that was upgraded to a red in the 56th minute, reducing Rayong to ten men. Despite the numerical disadvantage, they held on until stoppage time, when Buriram's Thanakrit Choti-muangpak netted the winner in the 90+4 minute. After the match, the club's official Facebook page shared Pituthecha's remarks: 'The second yellow that led to Buriram United's victory—was it correct and fair, or was there bias? I ask the football community to consider this impartially.' He added, 'Our players gave everything and fought to the best of their ability; we did our best on the pitch and will continue to fight with an unyielding heart.' Rayong FC currently sit fourth in the table with seven points from four games.
