PHNOM PENH (8 April 2013) – Former champions Naga Corp FC failed to close the gap on runaway leaders Boueng Ket Rubber Field FC when they were held to a disappointing 2-2 draw by National Police in the Metfone Cambodia League 2013.
Prak Chanratana had given Naga Corp the lead on 18 minute as National Police replied with two goals off An Jinya in the 36th minute and Omokara Jole in the 59th minute.
But Tiep Wadhanak would salvage Naga Corp FC the one point with the equaliser in the 61st minute. With the one point, Naga strengthened their position on fourth at the table with 12 points from seven matches played thus far.
As leaders Boueng Ket recorded their eighth win a row where this week they edged Preah Khan Reach FC 1-0 with the solitary strike from Bisan George in the 47th minute, Phnom Penh Crown FC were held to a scoreless draw by Asia Euro University.
Elsewhere, Build Bright United blasted Senate 4-0 while Kirivong Sok Sen Chey FC beat National Defense Ministry FC 3-1.
