It took just 11 minutes for the visitors to take the lead at Thuwunna Stadium, as Maicon beat the offside trap to meet a Samuel Ajayi pass and slot home, and Julius Oiboh doubled Boeung Ket’s advantage in the 25th minute, dribbling in from the left and leaving Htike Htike Aung in his wake before tucking beyond goalkeeper Myo Min Latt. Ajayi made it 3-0 in the 47th minute, and things went from bad to worse for Shan United two minutes later as Phyo Paing Soe was sent off after a foul on Ajayi as the last man.
