Muangthong United F.C. | Official Site

The 2015 Fight Back season was aptly named as Muangthong United recovered from a slow start to gain top spot. Matchday 24 in late October was a 5-1 win over Osotspa M150 that kept the Kirin in first place heading into the final third of the season.

THE QUOTE FROM THE LEGEND (After 5-1 Win vs Osotspa M150)

“This was a good result for us. The high score came because both teams decided to attack, creating many chances. From here on, we must continue to take it game by game, but we will give our full effort in every match we play.”
