Rudimar Venancio opened the scoring with an easy tap in after six minutes.

Khanh Hoa tried to defend in numbers and waited for a chance to launch a quick counter-attack, but it was Chonburi Bluewave who doubled their lead minutes later through Suphawut Thueanklang.

The host side continued scoring in the second half with a double from Suphawut and goals from Kritsada Wongkaeo, Nattavut Madyalan, Nawin Rattanawongswas, Ronnachai Jungwongsuk and Jirawat Sornwichian.

Khanh Hoa could only score a consolation through Nguyen Quoc Bao three minutes from the end.
