MYANMAR SHOW THEIR CLASS IN ASEAN FUTSAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Published on: 29 October 2017

Ho Chi Minh City: Indonesia crashed out of the 2017 ASEAN Futsal Championship going down 3-1 against Myanmar in a Group A tie at the Phu Tho Stadium on Sunday.

Pyae Phyo Maung scored in each half while Kyaw Soe Moe added another for good measure to steer Myanmar past Victor Hermans' side who have now lost their last two matches.

The shock loss to Myanmar leaves Indonesia out of contention for the semi-finals of the 2017 ASEAN Futsal Championship as well as the 2018 AFC Futsal Championship Finals.

Myanmar went in front in the third minute off a counter attack when Aung Aung squared the ball for Maung to find the back of the net from close range.

Indonesia found their equaliser through Syauqi Saud's rocket off a corner five minutes later for a 1-1 score at halftime.

Myanmar however went ahead four minutes after the break with Maung finding a way past Indonesia goalkeeper  Muhammad Albagir after a scramble in the penalty box.

Moe picked up his first goal of the tournament five minutes from time as Htay Myint's side walked away with the three points.
