First Half – Prey Veng FC 1 Tiffy Army 1
Newly promoted Prey Veng have invested in some marquee foreign players and they have undauntedly improved since the start of the season, it was though very much against the run of play when they scored. On the 20th minute when Uzbeki midfielder Alisher Mirzaev fired a screamer from the outside of the box putting the hosts one-nil ahead.
The lead was to be short-lived though and merely two minutes later Tiffy Army, also known as National Defense went on the attack, a ball was crossed in only for Cambodian Kim Sophana to put the ball into his own net. Tiffy dominated the rest of the half, but Prey Veng held strong to go into the break tied.
Second Half Prey Veng FC 1 Tiffy Army FC 2
Initially the pace slowed down as the game restarted, with Tiffy Army being the slightly stronger of the two teams. Prey Veng FC held strong though and at times looked like they might even win the match, until a moment of madness put out their fire.
After a foul in the 66th minute a yellow card was handed to a player who somewhat took offense, as did most of the team After a backlash against the referee a second yellow card was brandished and Prey Veng FC were down to 10 men, as well as also having the coach handed a yellow card. Emotions had gotten the better of everyone and Prey Veng were to end up paying the price. The rest of the game was fairly much a Tiffy Army onslaught, although Prey Veng again held strong and looked like they might pull a point out of the game, but in the end they simply couldn’t hold out.
The ball was crossed over in the 92nd minutes and Nat S of Tiffy Army poked the past the Prey Veng keeper, with the agony of the host team all too evident as the players dropped to their knees after having held out for so long.
What does it mean?
Tiffy Army were favorites to win and win they did. Prey Veng have only won one game this season, but they were strong and can be confident of staying up if today’s spirit was anything to go by.
The Prey Veng FC Stadium
A classic small C-League 2 rural type stadium, with one stand, although they have the ability to close the side next to the road and double it up as a stand when they have matches, which is pretty cool. You could probably get a few thousand fans in on a good day.
