Moi Kompong Dewa Upsets Visakha 1‑0 in C-League Opener Behind Late Substitute’s Goal
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (Interstat) — In a stunning C-League upset Sunday, visiting Moi Kompong Dewa defeated Visakha 1-0 at Visakha Stadium. The lone goal came in the 38th minute from substitute Mon Vanda, assisted by fellow substitute Chan Sanith. The result defied pre-match projections that heavily favored the home side.
The match turned chaotic in the second half. Visakha’s Vitālijs Jagodinskis received a red card in the 70th minute, forcing his team to play a man down. Moi Kompong Dewa also finished with 10 men after Nana Kwame Oppong, who had an earlier yellow card and an assist, was sent off in stoppage time. Four total yellow cards were issued.
The victory gives Moi Kompong Dewa a winning start to their C-League campaign, while Visakha begins the season with a loss.
