For Chonburi, Eliandro and Kroekrit Taweekarn were the culprits as they missed from the spot, while Shinnaphat Leeaoh failed to convert the fourth shot for the Beetles.
The third-time FA Cup champions received five million baht in prize money and, more importantly, earned a place in the 2022 AFC Champions League group stage where they will be joined by this year’s Thai League 1 winners BG Pathum United.
