AFC Cup 2017: Aung Thu hands Yadanarbon a memorable continental win over Home United

The side from Myanmar registered their first ever win at the continental stage after upstaging Home United in Mandalay...

Myanmar champions Yadanarbon FC got off to a memorable start to their Group H (ASEAN Zone) campaign in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Cup by defeating Singapore's Home United FC 1-0 at the Mandalar Thiri stadium in Mandalay.

Incidentally, Yadanarbon had finished without a win in their first ever AFC Cup campaign in 2015 and a strike from 20-year-old wonderkid Aung Thu (45+2') handed them a historic win on Wednesday.

S.League outfit Home United FC were expected to dominate this tie but it was the home team which started well.
