It was opposite end of the spectrum for Dominic Tan and Norshahrul Idlan Talaha in the last two Thai League 1 action.
Contrasting fortunes for the two Malaysian players in the Thai League 1 in recent weeks as one achieved his first of many for the season while the other could only watch from the sidelines.
For the first time this season, Dominic Tan earned his place in the starting line-up for Police Tero FC in two successive home matches against Ratchaburi FC (19 Sep) and Chonburi FC (26 Sep).
While it was great for the young centre back to earn his colours in full for the first time, he unfortunately will have to look back at those two matches with a tinge of regret.
