The hosts took the lead in the fifth minute when Lin Myint Mo’s corner towards the six-yard box was bundled over her own goal line by Marlena Connelley under pressure from Phyu Phwe.

Three minutes later the lead was doubled when Lin Yoon Eain cleverly headed Hay Mann Soe’s lofted pass from deep backwards, the ball looping above Strykers goalkeeper Deseha Mendiola and across the line.

By the 12th minute ISPE were three goals up, May Htet Lu flicking Phyu Phyu Win’s low cross form the right beyond Mendiola and the fourth came in the 16th minute when Lin Myint Mo scored from outside the area.

Phyu Phyu Win’s 18th header crept over the line for the home side’s fifth and she added the sixth 12 minutes later when she scored from close range after Lin Myint Mo’s initial attempt had come back off the post.

Strykers were frustrated at the other end with three minutes left in the half when Zu Latt Nadi gifted possession to Connica Baza but the goalkeeper immediately redeemed herself with a fingertip save to deny the substitute.

With barely a minute remaining before the interval, ISPE scored their seventh as Shwe Yee Tun curled her first-time right foot shot from the left side of the penalty area beyond Mendiola and over the line via the inside of the post.

Than Than We thought she had added ISPE’s eighth in the 55th minute only for her header to be ruled out for an offside while Yoon Wadi Hlaing’s attempt was ruled out for a foul on Mendiola.

ISPE eventually added another three minutes from time when Mendiola fumbled Yoon Wadi Hlaing’s cross from the right and San Thaw Thaw swept in from eight yards out while Moe Moe Than hit the ninth with a minute remaining.
