The supporters enjoyed Buriram's previous game versus Consadole Sapporo, a J.League Asia Challenge win (5-2) played at home.
That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Singha Chiangrai United in the Thai Premier League.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Buriram United manager Ishii as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Port FC.
