Midfielder of Vietnamese origin scores, Laos team easily defeats Nepal

On the evening of June 10, the Laos team created a better game and deservedly won 2-1 against Nepal in the second match of Group F, Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers.

Thanh Hoa Club players take advantage of the opportunity

Although the Lao team is 15 places behind its opponent in the FIFA rankings (ranked 190 compared to 175), coach Ha Hyeok-jun's team played better in this confrontation. At the Lao National Stadium, the team quickly created many good opportunities and scored the opening goal in the 12th minute. Damoth Thongkhamsavath, a player of Vietnamese origin currently playing for Thanh Hoa Club, was the one to score when he quickly seized the opportunity after a chaotic situation in the penalty area.

Next, Damoth impressed again, performing many bold individual moves, actively dribbling and breaking through to create a difference. Similarly, captain Bounphachan Bounkong also tried to fight independently. However, in the decisive moves, the two brightest attacking stars of the Laos team lacked sharpness.

On the other side of the front line, the Nepal team did not play well, with almost no good chances. Therefore, the first half ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of the Laos team.

Easy victory

In the second half, the Lao team scored another early goal. In the 49th minute, Peeter Phanthavong made a daring long-range shot, surprising the Nepal goalkeeper, who had to go into the net to pick the ball up. The second goal forced the Nepal team to attack more strongly if they wanted to get a point. However, all they could do was score a goal from 11 meters away. In the 74th minute, Manish Dangi reduced the gap to 1 goal with an accurate penalty kick. In the final minutes, the Nepal team pressed forward to attack in search of an equalizer but failed. 2-1 in favor of the Laos team was the final score of the match.
