The match heated up as Yangon scored the opening goal and Dagon United forced the play for their equalizers.
Yangon United scored the second goal at 44 minutes. The goal was again scored by Yangon’s star Kaung Htet Soe with the support by Maung Maung Lwin.
The scoring stood at 2-0 in favour for Yangon United.
At the start of the second half, Yangon scored their third goal with Maung Maung Lwin, as Yangon had a foul ball but Miller’s foul ball kick was blocked by the defenders, but the ball was finally finished by Maung Maung Lwin, heading flawlessly into the net.
Dagon United also tried to score a consolation goal, but the three goals were too much for the team to overcome, as Dagon seems exhausted in the final minutes.
Yangon United is leading the table after 17 plays with 11 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, earning 36 points, while Dagon United stands in 11th place with 3 wins, 3 draws and ten losses in 17 matches played.—Lynn Thit (Tgi)
