BG Pathum United Hit Tai Po 4-1 in ACL Two

BG Pathum United thumped Hong Kong’s Tai Po FC 4-1 in AFC Champions League Two Group F on 5 November 2026, with Croatian striker Marin Yurina scoring a hat-trick as the Rabbits climbed to second in the group on seven points, Thai coverage from Siam Sport reported.

How BG Pathum United took control at Pathum Thani Stadium

BG Pathum entered the matchday-four fixture third in the group on four points after beating Tai Po 3-0 away in the previous meeting. Tai Po still had zero points. In front of the home crowd, Yurina scored in the 14th and 37th minutes to make it 2-0 at the break. Sarach Yooyen supplied the first, and Lucas Andersen teed up the second.

After half-time Yurina chipped the keeper for his hat-trick in the 57th minute following a long ball from Fabio Caffmann, then set up Matheus Costa to chip home in the 63rd minute for 4-0. Wallisson headed a consolation for Tai Po in the 70th minute from a Nando Welter free-kick. Chanathip Songkrasin hit the woodwork in between, underlining BG’s dominance.

The result lifted BG Pathum onto seven points and above Adelaide United into second place in Group F. Tai Po remained bottom without a point after four defeats and are already eliminated. BG still chase a knockout berth and will treat remaining fixtures as must-manage rather than exhibitions.

• Final score: BG Pathum United 4-1 Tai Po FC
• Yurina goals: 14’, 37’, 57’ (hat-trick)
• Matheus Costa: 63’; Wallisson: 70’
• BG Pathum: 7 points, second in Group F

What it means for Thai club football fans

A convincing home win keeps a Thai side in the ACL Two conversation while national-team preparations for the King’s Cup continue. Readers can also follow Buriram’s goalless draw with Kashima in ACL Elite and Hudson’s Thailand King’s Cup squad notes for the wider Thai football week. Phuket-based supporters watching on BG Sports streams get another reason to track Pathum’s run before the high-season tourist rush peaks.

The Rabbit still listed injuries to several squad members ahead of the match, yet the attack clicked without needing a late scramble. Expect Tai Po to play for pride in their remaining games while BG manage minutes for Chanathip and other key creators. We will update standings if Adelaide or other Group F results change the second-place maths overnight.

Fantasy and form watchers should note Yurina’s sudden scoring burst after the earlier 3-0 win over the same opponent, a streak that may force opposing centre-backs to sit deeper. For casual fans in Phuket bars, the headline is simple: the Rabbits look sharp in Asia again, and a hat-trick hero makes the highlight packages easy to sell on social clips.

Across ACL Two, home form often decides who survives the winter fixtures. The side looked clinical finishing chances that earlier Thai clubs sometimes waste against weaker visiting sides. Yurina’s movement between the lines forced Tai Po’s back four into repeated recovery sprints they could not sustain after the hour mark.

Thai league fans comparing continental calendars will note Port’s high-scoring ACL Elite night earlier in the week and Buriram’s stubborn draw with Kashima. Different competitions, same message: Thai clubs can compete when pressing and set-piece details hold. For neutral supporters in Phuket sports bars, BG’s 4-1 result is the cleaner highlight package of the night, complete with a hat-trick narrative that travels well on short video.

Looking ahead, the club must rotate carefully if domestic league matches tighten. A second-place group finish is useful only if key creators stay fit for the knockout rounds. Keep an eye on Adelaide’s remaining results before locking any fan travel plans around a possible playoff site.
