In their final match of the 2012 VFF Cup, Laos ended the tournament without a win after falling 2-4 to Turkmenistan.Thim Xad had hoped to end their campaign on a high note after losing 1-4 to a South Korea University XI and 0-4 to Vietnam.Turkmenistan controlled the ball early and often, creating several chances in the first 15 minutes. Their efforts were rewarded with Boliyan Aleksandr's goal in the 17th minute, an easy tap-in after the goalkeeper denied an initial effort.The away side doubled their lead just before the half-hour mark after Laos goalkeeper Soundala Soukthavy failed to catch a corner kick, and despite a solid chance for Laos just minutes later they went into the half training 2-0.The second half picked up where the first left off, with Turkmenistan once again taking advantage of Soukthavy's poor play, this time on poor coverage of a cross that allowed Abylov Gunvanch to score his team's third goal of the match.After a failed penalty kick by Phaphouvannin Visay that struck the crossbar, Laos made it 3-1 before at 58 minutes when Lithideth Keoviengpheth beat the offside trap to receive a superb ball from his team-mate and convert.Each side added one to their tally, but the result was little consolation for the Laotians who will need drastic improvements to their side before the AFF Suzuki Cup kicks off in late November.
