No one gave Cambodia a ghost of a chance prior to the start of the tournament but the Angkor Warriors have earned many admirers after they beat Malaysia 3-1 to finish behind Myanmar in Group A and achieve a historic first ever semi-final apperance at the Southeast Asian Games.
A second half blitz cut open Malaysia with goals coming from In Sovidad, Sieng Chanthea and Keo Sokpheng while Quentin Cheng's late reply proved to be of little consequence in the bigger scheme of things. But Cambodia narrowly missed out on the knockout boat and had Timor Leste's late goal against Philippines to thank for their progression.
