Frustration for Svay Rieng’s Alves; Gai proud of Manila’s resolve

Phnom Penh: Tiago Alves could not hide his disappointment after Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng FC could not maximise home ground advantage in their AFC Challenge League 2025/26™ semi-final first leg on Thursday.

The Portuguese forward struck after just four minutes of play but despite numerous chances for the Cambodian side, their inability to find a second goal came back to haunt them as Manila Digger FC fought back to salvage a 1-1 draw.
