Late leveller denies Laos
Ho Chi Minh City: Laos were denied a winning start to their 2012 AFC U-19 Championship qualifying campaign as Myanmar scored three minutes in to stoppage-time to salvage a 2-2 draw on Monday.
Phoutthasay Khochalern put Laos one up with just ten minutes gone before Sitthideth Khanthavong added to the defender's first-half opener with the second seven minutes after the interval.
Laos were in a strong position but in the 78th minute substitute Ye Ko Oo reduced the deficit before the midfielder, a 59th minute replacement for defender Wai Phyo Lwin, struck deep into time added on to earn Myanmar a share of the spoils.
Meanwhile, hosts Vietnam were frustrated by ten-man Malaysia in the qualifying Group F curtain raiser earlier on Monday.
Vietnam were given the numerical advantage in the 56th minute when midfielder Muhammad Nazmi Faiz bin Mansor was dismissed after receiving his second caution of the game following his first booking two minutes before the interval.
However, despite playing for more than half-an-hour with a man less, Malaysia successfully shutout the hosts to earn a share of the spoils.
