AFC Challenge League
On four points, Han Win Aung’s side will face Manila Digger FC on Saturday to decide who advances to the knockout stage on the group winners’ ticket.
After a cagey start, Shan United started to impose themselves as the group hosts went in search of the first win of their campaign.
Stephen Halm’s clearance in the 17th minute floated but Mark Sekyi’s acrobatic effort was saved by Jack Landreth before the Shan United forward struck the outside of the box from an acute angle in the 27th minute.
The Myanmar side edged ahead seven minutes later when Rodrigue Nanitelamio powered in a header from Thet Wai Moe’s corner delivery from the right.
Nanda Kyaw sent Edson Junior racing through on goal in the 45th minute and despite Landreth making a good save, the Brazilian forward tucked home the rebound to give Shan United a healthy lead at the break.
Group E: Kasuka FC (BRU) v Shan United FC (MYA)
Item 1 of 8
Kasuka were handed a chance to halve the deficit six minutes into the second half, Everett Boateng miscued a clearance with the ball landing nicely for Lee Seong-yo to thump towards goal but Kyaw Zin Phyo stood strong to palm the ball away.
Shan United missed chances of their own with Ye Yint Aung hitting the side netting before Carlos Damian smacked an attempt against the bar from close range from an Edson cutback but it proved not to be costly as the Myanmar side comfortably saw out the win.
