Edgar brace keeps Thunder Castle on top ahead of key ACL encounter away at JeonbukEdgar Bruno of Buriram United (right) dribbles the ball away from Police Tero's Chompon Buangam on Saturday. A first-half brace by Brazilian forward Edgar Bruno gave Buriram United a 2-1 Thai League 1 victory over Police Tero on Saturday night and put them in a stress-free state ahead of their bigger battle on Tuesday. Defending champions Buriram entered Boonyajinda Stadium aware that a loss against the home team could spell an end to their domination of the league. The victory means that second-place Bangkok United, who will be at Thung Thalay Luang Stadium tonight to face hosts Sukhothai, cannot overtake Buriram at the end of this weekend's games. Earlier on Friday night, Suphanburi suffered only their second league loss this season when they went down 2-1 to Port.
