Comment on U19 East Timor vs U19 Laos: a well-deserved victory

East Timor U19 and Laos U19 are a close match in Group B of the Southeast Asia U19 Championship. So a direct encounter between them would be a good opportunity to look for points, thereby boosting hopes of contending for one of the top two.

If you look at the past, East Timor U19s have won both of their matches in the Southeast Asian U19s Championship, and things are slightly better. However, if we look at the actual performance, things are not easy, and East Timor U19 is likely to end its winning streak.
