Phnom Penh: China PR easily booked their spot in the AFC U-19 Championship 2018 Finals in Indonesia when they beat Myanmar 1-0 in their final Group G qualifying match at the National Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh on Saturday.
Liu Ruofan, who netted a brace in his team’s 6-0 win over the Philippines in their second match, scored China’s only goal in the 38th minute.
Finding himself unmarked in the box, the striker sent a stiff shot that left goalkeeper Thet Paing Hwte completely flat-footed.
China, who needed only a point to qualify after beating Cambodia 1-0 in their opener, made their intentions clear from the get-go when coach Jia Xiuquan played a 4-4-2 formation.
This effectively blunted the Myanmar attack, who were on fire during their team’s 6-0 defeat of the Philippines on Matchday One.
