Cambodia U23 secured a resounding victory against Brunei in their opening match.

With their superior strength, the Cambodian U23 team launched an attack right after the opening whistle.

In the 6th minute, from a cross by his teammate, Sor Rotana charged in and headed the ball powerfully into the net of U23 Brunei, opening the scoring for Cambodia.

Continuing their momentum, three minutes later U23 Cambodia doubled their lead.

In this play, Sa Ty took a shot from outside the 16-meter box, but the Brunei goalkeeper unexpectedly fumbled the ball, allowing it to roll over the goal line.

After conceding two consecutive goals, the Brunei U23 team seemed to wake up and began to reorganize their defense.

After the break, the Cambodian U23 team continued to push forward in attack and put great pressure on the Brunei goal.

In the 50th minute, following a coordinated free-kick, Sor Rotana made a run and headed the ball into the net, increasing the score to 3-0 for Cambodia U23.

In the 73rd minute, after a series of well-coordinated one-two passes in the penalty area, substitute Chanrith easily tapped the ball into the net, scoring Brunei U23's fourth goal of the match.

Conversely, the Brunei U23 team was almost unable to get the ball forward due to their opponent's pressing tactics.

Meanwhile, Cambodia, despite slowing down their pace, still managed to score another goal.

In the 90th minute, receiving a pass from a teammate, Pisey controlled the ball neatly and finished from close range to increase the score to 5-0.

In the end, U23 Cambodia secured a resounding 5-0 victory against U23 Brunei, temporarily taking the lead in Group A.
