Chhin Chhoeun netted the match winner to earn Cambodia a norrow 2-1 win against Laos

The host Cambodia collect three essential points in the first match of AFF Suzuki Cup qualifiers following a tough 2-1 win against Laos last night. 

Preah Khan Reach Svayrieng's attacking midfielder, Prak Monyudom, netted from the penalty spot to put the home side in front on 43' in the first period of the match after he was fouled in Laos' dangerous box. Souksavath leveled the score to 1-1 for the visitors just seven minutes into the second half after the KoupreyBlues' defenders failed to clear the ball from the right-hand cross near the penalty box. Chhin Chhoeun scored the match winner on 81' to earn the KoupreyBlues a narrow 2-1 win.

Following their victory over Laos, Cambodia are now second in the table of the qualifying round ahead by the first place, Brunei, who also won their opener 2-1 against Timor Leste.

Cambodia will play their second match of the tournament against Brunei on 18 October 2016 at 6.30pm.
