Falcons, who opened their campaign with a 0-0 draw against Indonesia’s Madura United, threatened in the second minute with Batkhishig Myagmar striking his overhead attempt straight at Svay Rieng keeper Vireak Dara.

The Mongolian side came close to scoring four minutes later when Tuguldur Munkh-Erdene struck a long-range effort from 35 yards, forcing Dara into a fingertip save.

However, it was Svay Rieng who took the lead after Falcons conceded a penalty following 
Batkhishig Myagmar’s handball, with Pablo converting from the spot in the 25th minute.

Cristian came close to extending their lead in the 36th minute but angled his free-kick over the bar, while Pablo pulled his effort wide in a one-on-one situation with Falcons keeper Tsenguun Khandaa.

Falcons had a chance to level the tie two minutes from the break, but Vlademir Everton could only manage a tame effort from inside the box which was easily collected by Dara.

Falcons, however, struck the equaliser 10 minutes later after Svay Reing failed to deal with Myagmar’s through ball allowing Daniil Musatkin to collect the loose ball inside the box and slot past Dara.
