SEA GAMES 2011: THAILAND LEAD THE WAY IN WOMEN’S FUTSAL

CIBUBUR (20 Nov 2011) – Thailand’s women Futsal team are leading the way in the competition where after three matches, they are at the top of the standings with the full nine points from three matches played at the POPKI in Cibubur.

And this morning, the Thai women put up a pulsating display of attacking Futsal when they beat Myanmar with a whopping 14-8 scoreline. Orathai Srimanee was again in her element when she scored six goals (4th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 23th and 31^st minute) alongside Darika Peanpailun’s hat trick in the 15^th, 28^th and 39^th.

The remainder of the goals came off Sasicha Phothiwong (4^th and 6^th minute), Nipaporn Sriwarom (7^th), Jiraprapa Tupsuri (35^th) and San San Maw’s own goal in the 31^st minute.

Myanmar’s goals were scored by Aye Nandar Hlaing (11th, 12th, 15th, 17th, 37th, 39^th minute), Khin Marlar Tun (8^th minute) and then an own goal from Nipaporn a minute later.

With the loss today, Myanmar are almost certain to be out of contention for the final even though they still have a game against hosts Indonesia to play for tomorrow. After three matches, Myanmar have collected six points and where they will need to score at least 15 goals to make the cut.

In the meantime, Vietnam completed their round robin matches today with a 4-1 demolition of the Philippines with Thi Thanh Nguyen grabbing a double off goals in the 8^th and 36^th minute. Le Ai Duyen Phan (14^th minute) and Thi Chau Nguyen (37^th) were the other scorers for Vietnam.

The Philippines scored their only goal in the game off Honey Thomason in the 34^th minute.

After the win today, Vietnam are currently on second with nine points from four matches, their only defeat coming off a 2-1 loss to Thailand.

The Philippines, without a point to their name, will take on Thailand in their last group game tomorrow.
