Group hosts ISPE went in front in the third minute when Hnin Pwint Aye miss-hit her cross wide on the right, the ball sailing over the head of goalkeeper Erdenebileg Tsendjav and over the goal line.

 

The lead was doubled four minutes later when San Thaw Thaw’s attempt at goal was only half cleared to May Htet Lu, and she ran in to stroke the ball into an empty net with Tsendjav missing.

Khin Marlar Tun almost claimed a third in the 13th minute when she tried her luck from distance, only for Tsendjav to push the ball wide diving full stretch to her right. Moments later May Htet Lu clipped the outside of the post with a header.

 

The third came in the 33rd minute, however, when Shwee Yee Tun hooked in a right-footed volley from 14 yards as the Khovd Western defence struggled to clear their lines. The midfielder turned provider five minutes later to allow Lin Myint Mo to glance her header in.

By the third minute of the second half, ISPE had gone further in front. Sandar Lin was hauled back by Namuun Bayarsaikhan as she shaped to shoot seven yards from goal and, from the resulting penalty, San Thaw Thaw sent Tsendjav the wrong way to score.

 

Sandar Lin managed to score two minutes later, the substitute sweeping Moe Ma Ma Soe’s lofted pass towards goal and Tsendjav fumbled the ball over her own goal line.
