The Street Dogs lost 3-2 to Cambodia after fighting back from a two-goal deficit. Goals from Reung Bunheing and Orn Chanpolin had Cambodia 2-0 up by the opening 20 minutes, but a brace from Kenshiro Daniels in either half restored parity for the Street Dogs.

However, just four minutes after Daniels had struck the equaliser, Bunheing restored the Angkor Warriors' lead.

Brunei, meanwhile, were thrashed 5-0 by Thailand.Bordin Phala, Teerasil Dangda, an own goal from Awangku Yura and a brace from Peeradon Chamratsamee blew them out of the park.

It's worth noting that the Hornets are making just their second appearance in the ASEAN tournament, having made their competitive debut in 1996.
