Laos brought back down to earth


Vientiane: Japan ended the winning run of Laos as the two-time champions defeated the 2012 AFC U-16 Championship qualifying Group F hosts 6-0 on Saturday.

Laos have made an impressive start to their qualification campaign defeating Cambodia (5-0) and Vietnam (3-0) before crashing to the Japanese before a crowd of over 7500 fans at the Laos National Stadium.

Doubles were scored by Fumiya Nakamura (16th and 55th) and Kohya Kitagawa (47th and 74th) while Yoshiki Abe (66th) and substitute Iwana Kobayashi were also on target for Japan, who leapfrogged Laos into second in the standings behind Group F leaders Korea Republic.

The Koreans emerged from Saturday's matches as the only undefeated side in the group after hammering Chinese Taipei 8-0.

Korea Republic were 4-0 up with just 20 minutes at the Chao Anouvong Stadium played with Hwang Ki-wook opening the scoring with an 8th minute penalty before a Suh Jeong-deog double (10th and 14th) and the first of Roh Kyoung-woo's hat-trick in the 19th minute gave a commanding lead for Song Kyung-sub's side.

Chinese Taipei goalkeeper Tsai Shuo-che scored an own-goal three minutes from the interval, after which Roh completed his treble with a 62nd minute penalty and Korea's eighth in the 76th minute after Yu Chung-in hit the target ten minutes earlier.

In Saturday's remaining Group F fixture, Vietnam scored four goals in the final ten minutes to win 5-0 and consign Cambodia to their third straight defeat.

Tran Ngoc Son gave the Vietnamese a first-half lead with a 12th minute penalty before Cambodia's late collapse.

Vu Duy Nghi doubled Vietnam's lead in the 80th minute and the forward got his second eight minutes later, just 120 seconds after Nguyen Viet Thang made it 4-0.

Nguyen Vuet Thang sealed the win on the stroke of full-time.
