AFF Cup: Myanmar and Laos chase an unbelievable score, Group B is extremely dramatic

How is Myanmar led?

In the fourth round of Group B AFF Cup 2024 taking place on the evening of December 18, the Myanmar team welcomed Laos at home. If they want to reach the semi-finals, coach Hlaing Win Myo and his team must win because they only have 1 point after 2 matches. Similarly, the away team must also have 3 complete points after 2 draws and 1 loss.

Both teams were at a corner, but the determination in the first half was only evident on the Lao team. Immediately after the opening whistle, Coach Ha Hyeok-jun’s students rushed forward to attack, creating many opportunities towards the Myanmar team’s goal. However, the strikers of the Laos team now appear to be quite ungainly. Then, they had to “pay the price” when the Myanmar team scored the opening goal. In the 32nd minute, from a cross situation on the right wing, Win Naing Tun headed the ball tactically for Lwin Moe Aung to score.

In the second half, the Laos team began to reveal their physical weaknesses. They gradually lost ground in defensive situations, allowing the Myanmar team to freely attack. The home team created many good opportunities but failed to take advantage. And this time, it was the Myanmar team’s turn to pay the price. In just 5 minutes (from 77 to 81), Phanthavong and Chony scored to help the Laos team take the lead. Myanmar’s defense had superficial defensive situations and lacked concentration, so they conceded 2 bitter goals.

But the drama didn’t stop there. In the 87th and 90+3 minutes respectively, Win Niang Tun scored twice after close-range shots to help the Myanmar team win 3-2. With this result, the Myanmar team owns 4 points, ranks 3rd and has the same index as the Indonesian team. Therefore, in the final match, the developments in Group B will certainly be very interesting when the Vietnamese team faces Myanmar, and Indonesia meets the Philippines. The Laos team was officially eliminated with 2 points after 4 matches.
