Khon Kaen United go top on 9 points despite a goal difference of exactly zero — 7 scored, 7 conceded in four games. Entertaining, leaky, and suddenly the team to catch.</p><p>Three teams still unbeaten — Uttaradit (8 pts, 2nd), Kanchanaburi (6 pts), and Nakhon Pathom (4 pts, four draws from four). Nobody's lost yet in that trio, but only Uttaradit are turning draws into wins.</p><p>Satun's first defeat — with an asterisk. The promoted side's perfect start ended at Nongbua, and the manner of it will sting: Satun came from 0–2 down to 3–3, then lost to an 87th-minute Luân Costa goal that fans rightly argued was offside. No VAR in Thai League 2.</p><p>The promoted trio are for real. After four rounds: Satun 6 pts, Loei 7 pts (and level on points with the sides directly below the top two), Uttaradit 8 pts in 2nd. All three are in the top half.</p><p>Goals are flying in. 27 in nine matches, with two separate 4–3s in eight days involving Nongbua and Uttaradit. Defences, as Santi Chaiphuek admits, are behind the strikers so far.</p><p>Firsts everywhere at the bottom. Phrae's first win (3–0 away), Kasetsart's first point, and Chainat's second win — the early-season separates are starting to form, though the FIFA Day break now pauses the league.</p><p>Best comeback: PT Satun — 0–2 down at Nongbua, back to 3–3, only to be denied by the 87th-minute controversy. A comeback in a losing cause, but the bravest away performance of the round.</p><p>Best performance: Uttaradit — 4–3 in another seven-goal classic, still unbeaten, up to second. (Honourable mention: Phrae's 3–0 at Pattaya.)</p><p>Best story: The Luân Costa 87th-minute \"offside\" winner at Nongbua — no flag, no VAR, and a fanbase in revolt. It decided the game of the weekend</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Robert Scott"}
