PHNOM PENH (21 May 2013) – With defending champions Boueng Ket Rubber Field FC putting up another sterling performance to romp 4-0 past hapless Senate, Svay Rieng improved to third in the Metfone Cambodia League 2013 following their 2-1 victory over seasoned campaigner Build Bright United.

Build Bright were just a tad late in a comeback despite scoring their first goal of the game through Prum Putsithy moments later.

In the meantime, former champions Phnom Penh Crown improved to third from fourth with a commanding 3-0 win over National Police. Ly Hanuol giving the lead on 27 minute, as Odion Anthony Obadin and Choi Jae Choel then added the second and third goal in the 68^th and 90^th minute respectively.
