Viet Nam win helps save face

28-03-2007

HA NOI — Viet Nam beat Brunei 6-0 in Group B of the ASEAN Futsal Championship (AFF Futsal Cup) at the Huamak Indoor Stadium in Bangkok yesterday.

The win over Brunei though could not erase Viet Nam’s humiliating loss against Thailand in the group opener on Monday.

Defending champions Thailand got off to a roaring start when they whipped Viet Nam 13-3 in the indoor football tournament.

Thailand’s Panuwat Janta opened the score book three minutes into the game, but Viet Nam’s Nguyen Bao Quan equalised a minute later.

Viet Nam were unable to put the brakes on the Thais, who scored four more goals before Quan scored the home side’s second

Apart from Panuwat and Anucha Munjaren who both ended the match with hat tricks, Sermpun Khumthinkaew and Kiatiyot Chalermkhet added two each, while Nattapol Suttiroj, Prasert Innui and Panomkorn Saisorn made goals.

In another Monday Group B match, Myanmar crushed Brunei 10-3, with goals from Maung Maung Htay, Soe Min Oo and Aung Moe.

In Group A, Indonesian Jaelani Ladjanibi only needed one goal to edge out the Philippines 1-0.

Australia, playing in their maiden AFF Futsal Championship after crossing over to the Asian Football Confederation, scraped by a determined Malaysian side.

The Aussies started their Group A match on a strong note, scoring after only seven minutes through Miles Downie. Scott Dingwall doubled it in the 13th minute before Malaysian Thayalan pulled one back six minutes later.

With time running out, the Malaysians managed to haul themselves back into contention in the 34th minute thanks to an equaliser from Mohd Fadhil Yusoff.

Adrian Vizzari became a hero in the 38th minute, finding the back of the net and giving the Aussies their first win. — VNS
