Laos have put themselves in the contention to qualify for the semi-finals of the ASEAN Boy\u2019s U17 football championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a scoreless draw against Myanmar in their opening match, Laos edged out the Philippines 4-3 in their second Group C match at the Gelora Joko Samudro in Gresik, Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A late goal from Anousa Silipanya settled the intriguing match between the two sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make it past the group stages Laos will now need to get past favourites Thailand in their final group match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laos, a three-time runners-up in the series, have not gone past the group stages since fourth place finish in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took the Laotians just one minute to find the net through Phoutphatai Chanthalangsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The early goal jolted the Filipinos, who came back strongly not only to equalize but also take the lead in the first half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua Moleje struck the equaliser in the 17th<\/sup> minute before they took the lead through Aaron Long in the 45th<\/sup> minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laos replied early into the second half, with Anousith Phadit restoring parity in the 47th<\/sup> minute. Anousith found the net again in the 56th<\/sup> minute to put Laosback ahead at 3-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, Laos conceded a penalty in the 82nd<\/sup> minute that was converted by Aaron. Just as the match seemed to be heading for a draw, Anousa notched up the winner in the 89th<\/sup> minute for Laos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
