Winning starts for Myanmar, China in AFC U-19 Championship 2018 Qualifiers

Myanmar, who beat the Philippines 6-0, took the lead in the ninth minute through a strong header from captain Soe Moe Kyaw.

The White Angels continued to pile on the pressure, but were let down by poor finishing and some fine work from Philippines goalkeeper Quincy Julian Kammeraad, who was kept on his toes for most of the match.

Myanmar, however, kept pressing and their efforts were rewarded in the 40th minute when Myat Kaung Khant (pictured above, No 8) cooly slotted home their second goal.
