Thailand’s Buriram moved up to eight points while Korea Republic’s Gangwon are one adrift.

Park was kept on his toes from the start, making a superb diving save from Bissoli’s 18-yard strike two minutes in and then nudging out Goran Causic’s close-range attempt three minutes later.
The hosts’ Neil Etheridge was called into action when he got down to punch out Lee Seung-won’s stinging shot in the 12th minute before play swung to the other end, Park again doing well to instinctively keep out consecutive attempts by Bissoli from inside the area.

Gangwon came close to their first goal when Kim Gun-hee’s shot from just outside the six-yard box rattled the left post on the half hour mark.
The K League 1 side’s Mo, however, made no mistake three minutes later, when the striker picked up a rebound off an Etheridge save from Shin Min-ha’s header and tapped in from close range.

The Thai League 1 champions equalised just before the hour mark when Ko rose highest from outside the six-yard box to power home past Park off a set-piece by Peter Zulj.

Buriram went ahead in the 65th minute after Suphanat collected a brilliant through ball from Zulj, came down the centre and drove home past a sprawling Park.

Their joy lasted for only three minutes as Bissoli conceded a penalty after a foul on Park Ho-young, skipper Kim’s spotkick sending Etheridge the wrong way to bring Gangwon back into the game.
Park again came to the rescue in the 79th minute when he tipped over Zulj’s rising shot from 30 yards before Bissoli saw his header hit the left post a moment later. Etheridge then went into a full-length save on the other end to keep out Kang Yun-gu’s shot from the right of the box as the points were shared.
