Struggling season - Battling against the odds
Pridpon Park's 11th season in the second division was a challenging campaign marked by resilience and moments of brilliance. Finishing in 10th place with 8 wins, 2 draws, and 12 losses, the team faced its fair share of hurdles. Despite the tough results, the squad demonstrated a positive goal difference of +9, more goals scored than conceded, which is a commendable feat in a season marred by inconsistency. This fun fact highlights the attacking intent and defensive organization that, at times, kept the team competitive even when the results didn't always reflect their efforts.
