"The National Police will provide tolerance and match permits for the game between Indonesia against Cambodia with a total audience of 30,000, then Thailand 50,000. However, he emphasised that the number of spectators is limited, only 70 percent of SUGBK's capacity which reached 78,000 spectators. All the players couldn't wait to show their performance in front of the crowd." I hope it will be a good match for Indonesia," he said. Playing as the host, Jordi has a message for Indonesian supporters.

Cambodia beats Azkals in AFF Cup opener (Manila Bulletin)

The Philippine Azkals absorbed a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Cambodia to start their campaign in the Asean Football Federation (AFF) Mitsubishi Electric Cup ...

Unbothered by the deficit, the young Filipino crew kept the pressure on the Cambodians before a rebound from Daniels off a long-range shot from Arnel Amita found the back of the net for the Azkals’ first point at the 41st minute. The Filipinos’ defense looked a step slower to the Cambodians’ crispier execution and relentless attacks which immediately bore fruit with two goals against Philippines’ goalkeeper Kevin Hansen –the first coming from Reun Bunheing at the 16th minute before Orn Chanpolin rifled in another from outside the penalty box at the 22nd minute to take a 2-0 lead. Kenshiro Daniels scored two goals in an effort to help the Filipinos save some blushes and recover from a sluggish start that saw them trail 2-0 but were not enough after they conceded a goal to the Cambodians at the 59th minute which proved to be the dagger against the Azkals.
