Khon Kaen worked tirelessly but could not get their shots in. The Angels could have sealed the win in the last five minutes but missed several clear chances.
“It was an extraordinary match today, we worked very hard and achieved our goal to win.” said Jaya Kencana Angels player, Rani Mulyasari. “This is the first time we have beaten a Thai team who are among the best in Asean.
“On our last game, we learnt a lot from watching them (Bangkok FC) in action and I believe we can win and go on to the final,” Rani said.
In the first match this morning, Vietnam’s Thai Son nam District 8 FC, the defending champions, picked up their second straight win after defeating Women’s FC 5-1. Yesterday, Thai Son Nam defeated Jaya Kencana Angles from Indonesia 3-1.
The Vietnam outfit surged to a 4-0 lead at the break. They shot ahead in the third minute through Do Thi Nguyen and doubled the score in the fifth minute through Le Thi My Hanh.
By the ninth minute, Thai Son Nam were three goals up with a solid strike from Tran Thi Thuy Nga. A minute before the break, Thai Thi Thao made it 4-0 to head to the locker rooms with a comfortable lead.
Thai Son Nam only managed one more goal in the second half, so did W FC to take the final score to 5-1.
