Goalkeeper Chatchai earns ASEAN title for Buriram United in shootout
BURIRAM, Thailand - Chatchai Bootprom saved three penalties as Buriram United defeated Vietnam's Cong An Ha Noi 3-2 in a shootout to win the ASEAN Club Championship title on Wednesday after a 3-3 draw in the second leg saw the tie end 5-5 on aggregate. The 38-year-old goalkeeper kept out spot-kicks from Jason Pendant Quang Vinh, Hugo Gomes and Bui Hoang Viet Anh to earn Osmar Loss' Thai League 1 champions victory in an eventful clash in front of their own fans. "I have never had as dramatic an experience as this in all my career," said Chatchai. "I feel very good because we won this trophy. We wanted to win this trophy because we wanted to be the number one in ASEAN." After a 2-2 draw in the first leg in Hanoi last week, Pendant put the visitors in front in the 15th minute when Nguyen Quang Hai played him in behind the Buriram defence, and the fullback calmly bided his time before shooting beyond Chatchai. Cong An Ha Noi doubled their advantage from the penalty spot with six minutes left in the half, Leo Artur converting after referee Koji Takasaki awarded a penalty following a clash between Buriram United's Peter Zulj and Gomes. Zulj made amends seven minutes from time when his shot on the turn found the bottom corner of Filip Nguyen's goal to give the home side hope. Lucas Crispim then unleashed a thunderous free kick from 30 yards out with the last kick of regulation time to take proceedings into extra time, the Brazilian crashing his right-foot effort off the underside of the bar to beat Nguyen. Crispim was the instigator of Buriram United's third, the winger embarking on a driving run towards the penalty area that ended with Giap Tuan Duong handling his cross and Guilherme Bissoli converted from the penalty spot in the 105th minute. However, Cong An Ha Noi's Alan Grafite headed in Quang Hani's corner in the 118th minute to take the game to penalties, where Chatchai's heroics secured the win.

Late Zulj header earns Buriram United draw in first leg of ASEAN final
May 14 (Reuters) - Buriram United salvaged a 2-2 draw with Vietnam's Cong An Ha Noi in the first leg of the final of the revamped ASEAN Club Championship in Hanoi on Wednesday after Peter Zulj headed in a late equaliser for his side. The Thai outfit, who reached the quarter-finals of the Asian Champions League Elite last month, will host the second leg next Wednesday, with the Austrian midfielder ensuring the battle for Southeast Asian supremacy remains finely poised. Leo Artur had given the Vietnamese side the lead with a close-range finish in the 18th minute, the Brazilian converting after a deft pass into the six-yard box by his compatriot Vitao. Ten minutes later Buriram United levelled when Australian defender Curtis Good powered a header beyond goalkeeper Filip Nguyen, but Cong An Ha Noi's lead was restored in the 35th minute as Alan Grafite slid a low shot into the corner. With 11 minutes remaining, however, the on-rushing Zulj nodded home the equaliser from close range having seen Nguyen parry Guilherme Bissoli's long-range attempt into his path.
