Norshahrul Idlan Talaha was given his debut with his new club BG Pathum United in the opening weekend of the Thai League 1 in a clash against Muang Thong United.
The former Pahang forward operated down the left hand side of BG's attack but it was a difficult outing for the 33-year-old as he struggled to make much of an impact.
Yet the match was an incident filled one where the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) took grabbed all the headlines in a match that saw two red cards and two penalties given.
BG was behind 0-1 and saw Irfan Fandi sent off before half time and it cost Norshahrul his place in the second half as head coach Dusit Chalermsan made changes to bring his team back into the game.
