Vilayout Sayyabounsou brought Lao fans to their feet by scoring the opening goal in the 32nd min, but celebrations were cut short when a late first-half equaliser from Mongolia's Tumenjargal Tsendenbal denied Laos what would have been three well deserved points at the AFC Challenge Cup 2014 Group C Qualifiers.

The young Laotians pressed ahead in the 2nd half and had a handful of opportunities at goal but were unable to convert against the physically bigger Mongolians. Both teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw. 

"The first match of the competition is the most important and since we only managed a draw, we must give our all and win the next 2 games," said Kokichi Kimura, Head Coach for the Lao National Team.

In an earlier game, Afghanistan's Balal Arezou scored the only goal of the match to give Afghanistan a 1-0 victory over the speedy Sri Lankan team.

The next match day on March 4 will see Afghanistan up against Mongolia at 4pm and Laos to play Sri Lanka at 7pm. Both games will be played at the National Stadium (KM16).

Laos Hold Harimau Muda in Late Fight Back

Laos Hold Harimau Muda in Late Fight Back

VIENTIANE (28 Feb 2013) – Two goals in the last five minutes gave Laos a hard-earned 3-3 draw against Harimau Muda in a friendly that was played last night at the National Stadium.

Following a scoreless first half, Harimau Muda – which is the Malaysian Under-23 team – fell behind in the 50^th minute when Khamleo Singkeo blasted in the lead for the home team.

But the Malaysians fought back to take a 3-1 lead off goals from A Thamil Arasu in the 56^thminute, Rozaimi Abdul Rahman in the 61^st and Muhammad Nurridzuan Abu Hassan in the 71^st.

 However, some loss in concentration towards the tail end of the tie saw Kanlaya Sysomvang scoring the second goal for Laos in the 87^th minute as Viengsavanh Sayyaboun then fired in the equalising goal deep in injury time.

While Laos are using this match as their last friendly game ahead of their AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers on 2 March 2013, the Malaysians are using the game to polish up the squad for their title defence at the SEA Games 2013.

ASEAN Teams Falter in 2015 Asian Cup Qualifying Opener

ASEAN Teams Falter in 2015 Asian Cup Qualifying Opener

SINGAPORE (7 Feb 2013) – Team across ASEAN did not have the best of start in their first qualifying matches of the 2015 Asian Cup when none could pick up at least a point in their opening campaign.

With no teams from the ASEAN region able to qualify for the last edition of the AFC Asian Cup in 2011, there was some expectation that this time round at least one or two of the heavyweights will begin their crusade on the righ
