AFC Challenge League
Patrick provided both assists for Peprah’s brace with Takashi Odawara adding another late in the game to give Svay Rieng a dream start to their campaign.
Falcons made the brighter start, with Batkhishig Myagmar testing Svay Rieng keeper Vireak Dara with a grounded effort in the sixth minute, before Khosbayar Erdene-Ochir miscued his shot from distance four minutes later.
The Mongolian side were left to rue their missed chances after Svay Rieng took the lead in the 17th minute courtesy of Kwame Peprah’s close range finish, following Patrick’s surging run down the left.
Patrick continued to cause problems for the Falcons’ defence and was again involved as Svay Rieng doubled their lead in the 32nd minute after Peprah rose highest to nod home Patrick’s corner.
The Cambodian side could have added to their tally but efforts from Min Ratanak, Patrick and Cristian failed to trouble Falcons keeper Tsenguun Khandaa.
Svay Rieng continued to assert their dominance in the second half, with Peprah testing Khandaa from distance in the 52nd minute before seeing his glancing header go narrowly wide of the right post.
Falcons showed glimpses of promise, Dara almost fumbling his save following Adriel’s stinging shot from just above the box, while Erdene-Ochir saw his long-range effort sail over the bar but that was to be it for them as Svay Rieng added their third.
Odawara converted Kim Sokyuth’s layoff in the first minute of stoppage time to cap a fine outing for the Cambodian side.
Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng will face Loas’ Ezra FC on Matchday Two, while SP Falcons take on Manila Digger of the Philippines.
