LEBAK BULUS (13 Nov 2011) – Myanmar confirmed their place in the semi-finals of the SEA Games this year when they thrashed the Philippines 5-0 in the match that was played at the Lebak Bulus Stadium this evening.
Aye San gave Myanmar the early lead with a strike on 11 minutes as Kyaw Zeyar Win then added the second goal in the 41st minute for Myanmar to be 2-0 in front at the break.
But just a minute into the second half, Kyaw Ko Ko (pix) slammed his first goal in the game before completed the double with his second goal in the 54th minute. Yan Aung Win then rounded off a fine afternoon for Myanmar with the fifth and final goal deep in injury time.
“It was not much of a match really although the results were deeply satisfying,” said Stefan Hansson, the chief coach of Myanmar.
“It was another good performance but I hope that the players will not get carried away and be over confident in the last group game (against Laos in two days).”
Philippines tried to get into the game after scoring their first win over Laos the previous match day but the Myanmar defence stood firm to deny Manny Ott and Co.
After four matches, Myanmar are on second behind leaders Vietnam although both teams are on the same 10 points from three wins and a draw.
