The former Manchester United and England player captained the team as goals from Choi Jun, Jeong Seung-won and Lucas Silva saw off the Thai League 1 champions to move FC Seoul onto four points from their opening two games in the competition. FC Seoul went ahead in the 38th minute when Choi slotted in Silva's inswinging cross from the left. Jeong doubled the lead three minutes into first-half added time when goalkeeper Neil Etheridge misread the winger's cross and the ball bounced in. Silva put the result beyond doubt when he crashed his shot into the top corner from close range after the Buriram defence struggled to clear a ball into the penalty area. The result moves FC Seoul onto four points, level with Hiroshima after two of the eight rounds of matches in the league phase. (Production: Andy Ragg)
