Cambodia here on Saturday beat Brunei 2-0 in a match of the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Football Federation (AFF) U17 Championship Tournament 2007.

In the first half, Cambodian player Oum Kumpheak scored a goal at the 18th minute and Soun Makara made it 2-0 for Cambodia at the 23rd minute.

After the match, Bruneian coach Kwan Soon Oh said that in the second half they concentrated on defending because the Cambodian team had a two-goal advantage.

"In the second half, we could not score a goal because the Bruneian side protected well," Cambodian coach Prak Sovanara told reporters, adding that they also should save power to play with Malaysia.

"If we lose to Malaysia, we could not qualify for the semi-final of the tournament," he added.
