Junior Eldstal scores first goal for Chonburi.
Junior Eldstal bagged an injury-time goal to salvage a 1-1 draw for Chonburi against Rayong on the final day of the 2020-21 Thai League 1 season on Sunday.
The former Sarawak and Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) defensive player, who ended his brief retirement in 2019, was found unmarked in the box as he headed the ball past the Rayong goalkeeper to cancel out Goshi Okubo's 16th-minute opener.
