BBU edge close encounter

2-goal Nuth Sinoun from BBU. He's been the only player to refuse a portrait photo so I took this one at the aftermatch press interviews

It needed a large helping of good fortune for Build Bright to succeed in the solitary midweek Metfone C-League game at Olympic Stadium on Wednesday. They rattled Kirivong Sok Sen Chey with two goals in a first half that was much closer than the scoreline would suggest. Wily old campaigner Nuth Sinoun, a recent capture from Prek Pra Keila, netted twice. The former Navy, Military Police and Phnom Penh Crown player strolled around the pitch as if he owned it. In the second period, Kirivong sought some justice but struck the woodwork no less than 4 times before Julious Chukwumeka netted ten minutes before the end. In truth he should've scored a hat-trick in this game and sealed the result for the Takeo-based team but it was not to be.

The successful BBU line-up, usually to be seen in white but a kit reversal with Kirivong on Wednesday

Kirivong will kick themselves for not getting a point from Wednesday's game

The two captains share a pleasant handshake before kick-off. It was a placid sort of game but ref Thong Chankethya still managed to book 6 players.
