It seemed to be an easy match for the home side, Cambodia, as they took two-goal lead just within 17 minutes of the first half and created many goal scoring chances, but Timor Leste proved it wrong as they didn't give up and managed to level the score to 2-2 into the first half break.
In front of their big home crowds, Cambodia took one goal lead as National Police's attacking midfielder, Tit Dina, scored a fantastic goal into the top right corner on 2'. The fans' favorite Chan Vathanaka scored his first goal of the tournament to put his side 2-goal lead on 17'. Timor Leste pulled one back just three minutes after Boeung Ket Angkor's forward's goal via Barbosa's excellent penalty kick. Viegas upset the home side with an equalizer for Timor Leste on 34' to end the first half with a 2-2 draw. The home side tried to press hard in the second half, and Vathanaka scored a match winner for them on 78' with an impressive dribble into Timor Leste's penalty box as well as a neat finish to earn Cambodia maximum nine points from three matches.
Following an unbeaten record with three wins out of three qualifying matches, Cambodia earn a spot to play in AFF Suzuki Cup 2016 where they will face other three awaiting teams including the host Myanmar, Vietnam, and Malaysia in Group B. Well-done the KoupreyBlues!
