AFF WOMEN’S C’SHIP: CLOSE WIN FOR MYANMAR; THAIS THRASH MALAYSIA
VIENTIANE (17 Oct 2011) – Myanmar scored a close 2-0 win over the Philippines as Thailand showed their pedigree with an 8-1 roasting of Malaysia on the second match day of the AFF Women’s Championship 2011 here at the National Stadium.
Myanmar, fielding a side which is being moulded for the SEA Games in 2013, were not expecting the Philippines to be much of a challenge.
“Sure we were expecting to score lots of goals but the Philippines have improved a lot and that made it tough for us,” said Yoshinori Kumada, the chief coach of Myanmar.
“We have to improve obviously from this first game where although the team played to instruction, we just did not score enough goals and we have to remedy that for the next match.”
Despite scoring the early goal in the fourth minute when My Nilar Htwe capitalised on a defensive error, the Myanmar girls found Philippines a hard nut to crack when the latter held out for long periods.
They even tried to catch Myanmar on the break but the Philippines girls just did not have enough pace to make things happen.
The closest they came to scoring a goal was a freekick at the half hour mark but the swerving shot from Natasha Alquiros flew just over the crossbar.
That failure to score saw My Nilar scoring the second goal for herself and also for Myanmar when she knocked the ball in from the far post off a cross from the right.
Myanmar stepped up the tempo in the second half but either through some fortunate defending or just plain hard work, the Philippines stood their ground all the way to the finish.
In the meantime Thailand as expected steamrolled over Malaysia 8-1.
The score at the half was 5-0 with striker Nisa Romyen scoring a hat trick off goals in the 5th, 10th and 12th minute as Warunee Phetwiset and Junpen Seesraum added further goals in the 28th and 38th minute.
Thailand’s other goals were scored by Sunisa Srangthaisong in the 49th minute, Taneekarn Dangda (54th minute) and a penalty from Junpen.
Malaysia scored their only goal of the game five minutes to the end through Fatin Shahida Azmi.

Welcome back Malditas / RP XI women's team !!
Our women's squad have been absent from any competitions during the past two years. We come in as unranked by FIFA (we lost our ranking when we did not compete for that two year period).
Nice to see that our opposition noticed a change. The last time we played Thailand we lost 12-0. I hope this time round the Thais will see a different PHI. Also, last time we played Malaysia we only lost 2-1. Again, I hope Malaysia will see a different Philippines.
Interestingly, the powerhouses in men's football in SEA are: Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.
But in women's football, the powerhouses in SEA are: Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and Laos.
I can only assume that the ultra-conservative culture in an islamic country (ie Indonesia and Malaysia) restricts what girls can or cannot do.

VIENTIANE (19 Oct 2011) – Thailand picked up the full six points after two matches with a 5-1 thrashing of the Philippines while Myanmar made the semis of the AFF Women’s Championship 2011 with 8-0 whitewash of Malaysia at the National Stadium.
Following up from their 8-1 humiliation of Malaysia in the opening match two days ago, the Thais were playing very much at the same level and showed no sign of letting up.
In the tenth minute, captain Junpen Seesraum nailed the opener with a stinging shot that came off the crossbar before crossing the line into goal.
The Philippines tried to move the ball forward but with them having difficulty to win the midfield battle, the afternoon was always going to be a long one despite the several ‘imported’ players on their side.
Some sustained pressure afterwards, saw Thailand finally getting down to business once again where in the 29th minute, Kanjana Sung-Jeon cut in through from the right, before putting the ball away past the reach of Philippines custodian Inna Palacios.
A minute to the end of the first half, it was 3-0 with a fine effort from Sunisa Srangthaisong from inside the box.
In a three minute blitz, midfielder Nisa Romyen nailed two goals on a trot to put Thaiand comfortably in front and in total control as they took their feet off the pedal.
The Thai camp then made several substitutions to allow the lesser players the chance to see action and this included introducing striker Taneekarn Dangda – the sister to Thai national striker Teerasil – to the fray.
With Thailand on cruise control, the Philippines managed to squeeze one goal in when a frantic chase for clearance allowed Samantha Nierras to head in the ball for the final score line.
In the meantime, Myanmar will join Thailand in the semi-finals of the championship this year after winning their second match of the tournament – blasting Malaysia 8-0.
The scorers for Myanmar were Khin Marlar Tun (5th minute), Khin Moe Wai (9th and 65th minute), Naw Arlo War Phaw (38th), San San Maw (51st and 58th), Su Su Wai (61st) and Yee Yee Oo (62nd).

VIENTIANE (21 Oct 2011) – Thailand recovered from a goal down to defeat Myanmar 3-1 to win Group B at the Chao Anouvong Stadium as ten-women Philippines battled to a 2-2 draw in the other tie at the National Stadium of the AFF Women’s Championship 2011.
Myanmar led 1-0 at the break but Thailand blasted three goals in the second half to end the group fixtures unbeaten. They will now take on hosts Laos in the semi-finals while Myanmar will entertain Vietnam in the other tie in two days.
Tonight, Myanmar put on a spirited performance, overzealous at times though, to keep the Thais in check in the first half. In fact, from being on the offensive in the early part of the first half, Thailand began to fall back under the weight of the heavy Myanmar attack.
And in the 37th minute, Myanmar were rewarded for their efforts with a superb goal from Khin Marlar Tun, whose glancing header off a cross from My Nilar Htwe, soundly beat the Thai keeper, Kanyawee Sudtawee.
After the break, the Thais brought on star striker Nisa Romyen to bolster their attack and it certainly made a difference. With the additional support upfront, Thailand began to get their shots in and struck the equaliser in the 54th minute.
To the despair of her teammates, Myanmar keeper Mya Phu Ngon fumbled to clear a shot from flanker Kanjana Sung-Ngoen.
Twenty minutes on, Thailand took the lead when Kanjana, whose explosive runs down the right created problems for the defence throughout the game. Kanjana’s cross from the touchline was met by a diving header from Nisa.
With four minutes on the clock, Kanjana was in the thick of the action again. Her crisp cross from the right was connected by substitute Pajaree Thaoto to seal the victory for the Thais.
In the meantime in the match at the National Stadium, both the Philippines and Malaysia were eager to avoid the wooden spoon tag.
And while the Malaysians were attempting to exert control, it was the Philippines who nailed the first goal of the game when Kathleen Rodriguez capitalised on a Malaysian keeper Roszaini Bakar‘s mistake to slot into an open goal.
But the loss of captain Marielle Benitez at the end of the first half would soon turn the tide in Malaysia’s favour despite the score being 1-0 to the advantage of the Philippines.
Three minutes after the restart, Malaysia took advantage of a poor defensive clearance from the Philippines for captain Angela Kais to score the equaliser.
Ten minutes later, the Malaysian girls nailed their second goal off striker Fatin Azmi.
But just when Malaysia thought that they had the three points in the bag, they conceded a penalty six minutes to the end, when defender Malini Nordin was faulted for bringing down Samantha Nierras inside the box.
Samantha had little trouble in blasting the ball to the top right hand corner of the Malaysian goal for the all-important equaliser.
