Gresik United v Arema 2-0 (Warwan Mustafa, James Koko Lomell) 21,000
Persidadon v Persib 2-2 (Rasmovo, Eduard Ivakdalam; Miljan Radovic, M Ilham) 875
Mitra Kukar v Persipura 1-2
Arema's woeful start to the season continued, their defeat away to Gresik in the East Java derby was their third straight and they remain in 17th, one place behind Persiram. Anyway, is it Gresik United of Presegres? They get called by both in different reports, this inconsistency just one more thing that makes following Indonesian football so bloody confusing. Persipura returned to winning ways after their thumping at Persisam, winning at bright starters Mitra Kukar.
1 - Persib 4 2 2 6-4 8
2 - Persija 3 2 1 0 7-0
3 - Mitra Kukar 4 2 1 1 11-6 7
4 - Persipura 4 2 1 1 9-8 7

Thai Premier League
Army United v Buriram PEA 1-3
TOT v TTM Phichit 1-3 485
Sri Racha v Bangkok Glass 2-2
Pattaya United v Chiang Rai United 3-0
If you have spent the last 12 months in the Sahara then you will be surprised to learn that Buriram PEA have won the TPL. For the rest of us we knew it was coming since March. PEA will leave Buriram and newly promoted Buriram will 'merge' with something that no longer exists and by dint of those spectacular mental gymnastics Buriram United will play in the AFC Champions League next year. Which shows the farcical levels Thai football has sunk to to keep the 'phu yai' sweet.
Division One
Chantaburi v Air Force United 1-2
Saraburi v Chainat 3-1 2.554
Samut Prakarn Customs v Suphanburi 2-1
Thai Honda v Phuket 2-2 120
Chiang Mai v JW Rangsit 2-0 6,874
1 - Buriram 30 22 7 1 69-15 73
2 - Chainat 31 20 3 8 64-34 63
3 - BBCU 31 17 9 5 37-19 60
4 - PTT Rayong 30 14 8 8 44-25 50
Buriram and Chainat are promoted while BBCU, who used to be called Chula United or Chula Sinthana in simpler times, should gain the third promotion spot barring a collapse in their last three games.
