Mongolia host Cambodia at the MFF Football Centre in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar on Tuesday for an international friendly, marking their second clash in four days. The Asian minnows faced off in Phnom Penh on Friday, where Cambodia prevailed 2-0 on home turf.
Midfielder Yudai Ogawa put them in front after 22 minutes before Sa Ty doubled their advantage just eight minutes later.
To make matters worse for the visitors, Batbaatar Amgalanbat was sent off for the Blue Wolves in the 72nd minute, forcing them to play with 10 men for the last 20 or so minutes of the match.
It was Cambodia's first win in six games, while their central Asian rivals remain winless in their last nine matches.
While most teams are busy with the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, these sides lost out in the preliminary round, and are therefore engaging exclusively in friendly matches. Cambodia were beaten 1-0 by Pakistan while the Blue Waves were ousted 2-0 on aggregate by Afghanistan.
