Defeating Myanmar, U22 Philippines challenges U22 Indonesia

(Dan Tri) - U22 Philippines dominated and won 2-0 against U22 Myanmar in the opening match of Group C of the men's football event of the 33rd SEA Games in Thailand on the evening of December 5.

Before the match, U22 Myanmar was rated higher but U22 Philippines entered the match with excitement and completely dominated. U22 Myanmar appeared confused in developing the ball but continuous attacks helped U22 Philippines continuously create dangerous opportunities.

In the 14th minute, U22 Philippines almost scored the opening goal. From an attack in the middle, Mariona Javier broke through and fired a powerful shot, but goalkeeper Hein The Soe made an excellent save for U22 Myanmar.

The Philippines' pressure made the difference in the 20th minute. From a long pass from his teammate, Demuynck Dylan escaped close to the sideline and passed back for Monis Alex to finish accurately, opening the score for U22 Philippines.

After the goal, the Philippines continued to control the game, while U22 Myanmar continued to play deadlocked. That was the reason why in the first 45 minutes, U22 Myanmar almost had no significant shots on the opponent's goal.

U22 Philippines had a few more scoring opportunities but could not convert them into goals. In the second half, U22 Philippines slowed down the pace of the match but they still played with great skill.

In the 50th minute, from a long cross-field pass to the left wing, Demuynck Dylan dribbled the ball before crossing it inside, center-back Lat Wai Phone rushed back to block, accidentally putting the ball into his own net, helping U22 Philippines lead 2-0.

U22 Myanmar tried hard to find a goal of honor, but they could not put any significant pressure. In the end, U22 Philippines won with a score of 2-0 and they sent a strong message to U22 Indonesia in the next match on December 8 to decide the top position of Group C.
