Ratchaburi: Ratchaburi FC claimed their first point of the AFC Champions League Elite 2026/27™ on Tuesday as the Thai League 1 outfit held Japan’s Kashiwa Reysol to a 0-0 draw at Ratchaburi Stadium.

Worrawoot Srimaka’s side had lost both of their opening matches in the eastern league phase but put on a strong defensive display against a Kashiwa side that rarely showed the creative quality to break through their hosts’ backline.

The result moves Ricardo Rodriguez’s side onto four points from their first three matches after Kashiwa, semi-finalists in the competition in 2013, had bounced back from an opening loss to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC with a comprehensive win against Port FC last month.
