NAGA CORP TRIUMPH OVER CITY RIVALS

PHNOM PENH (17 June 2008) – In one of the biggest game thus far in the Cambodia Premier League, Naga Corp FC edged city rivals Phnom Penh Empire 3-2 at the National Olympic Stadium.

And Naga was quick on the draw in front of well over 7,000 fans in attendance when they went two goals in front before the first quarter of the game off N. Pierre in the fifth minute and N.D. Herve Ernest three minutes later.

Rattled, Phnom Penh pushed hard for their first goal of the match and duly scored from Chan Rithy in the 43rd minute before grabbing the equaliser four minutes after the restart from Sam Minea.

But all hopes for a draw and the one point were dashed for Phnom Penh when Chhim Sambo slammed home the winner on 75th minute.
