Bluewave Chonburi go down fighting

Playing in front of a large home crowd, Chonburi stood toe-to-toe against one of the powerhouses of world futsal.

Barbosa were dominating with a three-goal lead but backed by great home support, and a shift in tactics, Chonburi fought back to score through Peerapat in the 38th minute.

Ronnachai then ensured a nervy finish for Barbosa when he struck Chonburi's second goal a minute later but the Brazilians held on for the win.

Chonburi will now play defending champions Magnus Futsal of Brazil while Barbosa will meet Spain's Barca Lassa in Saturday's semi-finals.
