At the Army stadium, National Defence Ministry eked out a 2-1 win over Cambodian Tiger FC.

The Armymen led through Kazuki Tatsuta’s goal at the break and went 2-0 up after substitute Up Kamul found the net early in the 65th minute.

Though Yoshihara Masato pulled one-back two minutes later, his side found it hard to get closer than that.

Despite missing a 47th minute penalty, Western Phnom Penh squeezed out a 1-0 away win over Svay Rieng on the back of Matthew Osas’s 83rd minute strike in their clash yesterday Meanwhile, Defending champions Phnom Penh Crown routed Asia Europe United 6-1 in a second-half blitz before a lustily cheering crowd of home fans at the RSN Stadium.

Bisan George led the goal hunt with a double while Keo Sokpheng, Santigie Koroma, Leng Makara and Va Sokthorn scored a goal each for the winners.

Western’s Nigerian import Osas drilled a 25-yard strike home late in the game to deal the former champions a serious blow, but the real hero for the winning side was their goal-keeper Peng Bunchay, who made several bold saves during regulation time and came up with a spectacular block of a seemingly certain goal off a header from Dzarma Bata moments before the final whistle.

In fact, there were several Bunchay-Bata duels that worked up a lot of excitement in the stands and Svay Rieng’s prolific scorer found the goalkeeper a tough one to beat on the day.

It was also a frustrating day for Tani Reijin and Prak Mony Odom as a Bunchay-inspired Western back line managed to safeguard their goal in the face of frequent attacks.
