VIENTIANE (28 Sept 2020) – Lao Toyota FC hauled in their fifth Pepsi Lao League 1 title last night after beating Vientiane FT 2-0 which sealed the title with two matches still to play.
After ten matches in the seven-team league, Lao Toyota have picked up 26 points – seven ahead of second-placed Master 7 FC.

The title was Lao Toyota’s fourth in four years after picking up their inaugural crown in 2015.
A day earlier, Master 7 FC failed to pick up the full points when they fell to a 3-2 loss to Ezra FC.
