BANGKOK (9 April 2012) – Defending champions Buriram United made it four of four wins in the Thai Premier League 2012 where this week they dispatched
Samut Songkhram FC 3-0 at the Samut Songkhram Stadium. Captain Suchao Nutnum gave Buriram the lead following a penalty conversion before further goals from Frank Acheampong and Sarif Sainui ensured the side from the north east the full points.
With the win, Buriram have picked up 12 points from four matches played to take the lead at the top of the TPL table.
