Cambodia opened their campaign at the ASEAN Under-17 boys championships with a goalless 0-0 draw against Singapore at the Gelora Delta Stadium in Sidoarja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group C favourites Australia thrashed a hapless Brunei 12-0 in their match earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it is only the opening day of the competition, the result is likely to deny either team a place in the semi-finals. Neither Cambodia nor Singapore are expected to defeat Australia while they have good chances against minnows Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only the top teams from the three groups will qualify for the semi-finals together with one best second placed team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second places teams will need to pick up at least six points to assure that they have a greater chance to qualify for the semi-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cambodia will now have to beat Brunei on Tuesday and the mighty Aussies in their final group matches to achieve that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia showed their championships hopes as they imposed their dominance right after the opening whistle against Brunei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They opened scoring in the third minute and led 4-0 at halftime. It was a massacre in the second half as Brunei conceded eight more in a one-sided second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgia Hassarti top-scored for the Aussies with five goals in the 3rd<\/sup>, 35th<\/sup> 56th<\/sup>, 58th<\/sup> and 81st<\/sup> minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braces from Corey Da Cruz (34th<\/sup> and 74th<\/sup>) and Achnoff Sayon (45th<\/sup> and 49th<\/sup>) together with goals from Oliver O-Carrol (31st<\/sup>) and Emile Katrib saw the Aussies romp home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
