Phnom Penh: Myanmar’s Shan United picked up a big three points in Group F of the 2018 AFC Cup on Tuesday, coming from behind to beat Boeung Ket FC of Cambodia 2-1 at Phnom Penh National Olympic Stadium.
Boeung Ket had slightly the better of the early exchanges but had to wait until Maicon lifted a free-kick from just outside the area over the wall and beyond the despairing dive of Thiha Si Thu in the 28th minute to move ahead.
That sparked Shan United into life though and they began to cause problems of their own going forward, culminating in an equaliser from Dway Ko Ko Chit from close range in the 41st minute.
The visitors then netted their winner 10 minutes after the break as Christopher Chizoba, who had provided the assist for Shan United’s first goal, this time converted himself after a powerful run through the heart of the Boeung Ket defence.
Shan United are on the road again on March 6 as they travel to Ceres Negros, while Matchday 3 will see Boeung Ket host Home United.
