Svay Rieng vs Angkor Tiger

League leaders Svay Rieng cruised to a comfortable 2-0 victory over Angkor Tiger at Svay Rieng Stadium, with Brazilian forward Patrick Monteiro the hero after bagging both goals in the C-League Championship Round clash. Monteiro broke the deadlock in the 19th minute to give the hosts an early cushion, and Svay Rieng took that slim advantage into the break. He then doubled his tally with a composed 79th-minute strike to put the result beyond doubt. Tempers flared in a feisty second half that produced five yellow cards, with Kwame Peprah and Connor Shields booked for the hosts. Angkor Tiger's afternoon went from bad to worse when S. Moth saw red in the 88th minute. The win strengthens Svay Rieng's grip at the top of the Championship Round, while Angkor Tiger are still searching for a victory after back-to-back winless outings.
