JDT had the ball inside Buriram's net inside the first minute after Bergson tucked home a rebound from close range but it was chalked off for offside following a VAR check.

The match was played at  a frantic pace with Buriram next to have a sight on goal, Guilherme Bissoli’s grounder from outside the box had to be pushed out by JDT keeper Andoni Zubiaurre.

The woodwork stood between JDT and the opener in the 28th minute after some intricate play inside of Buriram’s box opened up space for Afiq Fazail to have a strike.

Buriram came close to breaking the deadlock in first half added time, after Zubiaurre misjudged the flight of the ball, however, Suphanat was unable to guide his header on target to keep the tie in the balance heading into the break.

After 238 minutes played between the two teams in the competition this season, a goal was finally scored when Eddy Israfilov’s block in the 58th minute fell kindly into the path of Suphanat who curled a beautiful shot beyond Zubiaurre.

JDT had an opportunity to draw level nine minutes later after Bergson expertly controlled a long ball to feed Oscar Arribas but Buriram custodian Neil Etheridge stood his ground to block the full-back’s attempt.

The home side sent on Heberty and Jese in an attempt to rescue the tie but Buriram repelled every attack to advance.
