U.23 Vietnam’s opponent in match 2 won easily with “cannon spray” Timor Leste

The Philippines and Timor Leste are the two most Western representatives of men’s football at the 31st SEA Games, and in the opening match, both coaches Norman and Da Silva launched the strongest possible squad.

The Philippines owns players with very good physique such as the pair of central defenders Enrique, Mangaron and captain Sandro playing the powerful football of a typical European team.

Meanwhile, Timor Leste may have a shorter stature and a South American style of play, but their technique and speed are still not enough to be able to cause many mutations towards goalkeeper Quincy’s goal.

On the other side of the field, U.23 Philippines did not play too fast, but still regularly created opportunities by effectively exploiting the space exposed by Timor Leste’s high defense.

In the 10th minute, Rontini took advantage of the Timor Leste defense to open the score 1-0 for the Philippines. Having a goal early makes it easier for Norman’s army to play.

In the second half, Dennis Chung continued to exploit Timor Leste’s slow entry loophole to increase the score to 2-0 in the 56th minute in the inability of coach Da Silva – who in the press conference “exploded” very fiercely about unbeaten streak, only losing Korea in the last 8 matches.

In the 78th and 81st minutes, the Philippines raised the score to 3-0 and then 4-0 after 2 goals scored, a player with the same name and appearance as West Jovin Hervas.

With this victory, Philippines U.23 temporarily ranked first in Group A with 3 points, while Timor Leste showed his “cannon” form, revealing a lot of weaknesses in both defense and game organization.

In the next match, U.23 Timor Leste will meet U.23 Myanmar at 4:00 p.m. on March 8 while U.23 Philippines will confront the team U.23 Vietnam at 19 o’clock on the same day.
