BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (5 March 2012) – Myanmar and Indonesia have qualified for the semi-finals of the Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy 2012 despite the contrasting results they scored in their last Group A matches last night.
While Myanmar could only afford a drab scoreless draw against Singapore, the Indonesians comprehensively beat the Philippines 3-0. Both Myanmar and Indonesia qualified to the semi-finals of the HBT 2012 as group winners and runners up respectively.
Indonesia will meet Group B champions Vietnam while Mynmar will have to wait for tonight’s result to see whether they will play either hosts Brunei Darussalam or Timor Leste in the final four.
In the match between Indonesia and the Philippines, national Under-23 striker Andik Vermansyah headed in the first goal of the game in the 17th minute before doubling the lead with a penalty on 44 minute.
Yosua Pahabol then completed the rout with the third goal of the game when he finished off a rebound in the 63rd minute.
