AFC Champions League Elite - Worrawoot urges Ratchaburi to improve; Rodriguez rues missed chances

Ratchaburi: Ratchaburi FC head coach Worrawoot Srimaka commended his side’s defensive display but called for improvement in attack after they held Kashiwa Reysol to a 0-0 draw in their AFC Champions League Elite 2026/27™ tie on Tuesday.

Ratchaburi finally got on the board following consecutive defeats, while the draw took Kashiwa to four points from three games.

“We defended very well but we need to improve in attack. When we have chances, we need to be more clinical,” said Worrawoot. “I would like to thank the players and staff for their hard work today."

“I would also like to dedicate this result not only to our fans but also to Thai football because every point helps Thai teams when it comes to the number of places available in this tournament.”

Kashiwa Reysol head coach Ricardo Rodriguez was disappointed his side had to settle for a point after coming to Thailand targeting a win.

“It wasn’t the result we wanted. We came here looking for three points, but had to settle for one,” said Rodriguez. “Ratchaburi played well, and although we controlled much of the match, we needed to be more clinical.

“We created chances but lacked quality in the final moments. We’ll work on that in training and aim to turn those close calls into wins.”
