PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (Interstat) — Boeung Ket and Visakha opened their C-League campaigns with a 0-0 draw Sunday at Phnom Penh National Olympic Stadium.

The match failed to produce goals despite key contributions from midfielders. Chea Vesly registered an assist for the home side, while Visakha’s Chhoeung Visinu also notched an assist from his defensive position. Both players later received yellow cards in the 77th and 83rd minutes, respectively.

The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat, which gave Boeung Ket a 54.2 percent chance to win and simulated a 2-1 victory for the home side. With the draw, both teams opened their C-League and overall season records with a single tie.
