Persebaya loses again to Krung Thai<\/p>\n
Agencies, Bangkok<\/p>\n
Persebaya Surabaya failed to deviate from its losing record in
\nthe Asian Champions League on Wednesday, losing to Thailand's
\nKrung Thai Bank 1-0 in an uninspired match.<\/p>\n
Team captain Amnart Kaewkhaew headed home a corner from
\nPichitpong Choeichiu in the 19th minute to win the match.<\/p>\n
With Group G leader Busan l'Park of South Korea having already
\nbooked a spot in the final eight, the match was meaningless for
\nboth teams, whose play before a sparse crowd at Bangkok's
\nTupatemee Stadium was lackluster, The Associated Press reported
\nfrom Bangkok.<\/p>\n
The Surabaya side, who was without its injured Brazilian
\nmidfielder Danilo Fernando as well as Edu Juanda, had also lost
\n1-2 to Krung Thai Bank in March at home.<\/p>\n
Krung Thai's disappointing fifth place finish in the just
\nconcluded Thai League season makes it ineligible for the 2006
\nChampions League.<\/p>\n
After five matches, Busan l'Park has an unassailable lead of
\n15 points in Group G, followed by Krung Thai on nine and Binh
\nDinh of Vietnam on four. Persebaya trails on one point.<\/p>\n
Krung Thai will visit Busan l'Park and Persebaya will host
\nBinh Dinh of Vietnam on May 25 in their last preliminary round
\nmatches.<\/p>",
