AFC Women's Champions League
The win sets up College of Asian Scholars nicely for a Matchday Three encounter with PFC Nasaf of Uzbekistan on Sunday, while APF will be out to end their losing streak against Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr Club.
College of Asian Scholars were the first to have a look at goal in the third minute through Nutwadee Pram-Nak, whose shot from distance off Kanyanat Chetthabutr’s set-up failed to find the mark.
Rashmi Kumari Ghising had half a chance in the 14th minute when a long ball took an awkward bounce before heading towards goal, but College of Asian Scholars keeper Thichanan Sodchuen intervened in the nick of time.
The Thailand side gave APF a scare at the half-hour mark when Kurisara Limpawanich sent her free-kick just over the bar.
The goal finally arrived in the 34th minute when Kanyanat pounced on a loose ball inside the box after APF failed to clear Krittiya Munrang’s cross.
Kanyanat doubled her tally in first-half stoppage time after sidestepping her marker before sending a looping shot over APF keeper Anjila Tumbapo Subba.
Any hope of an APF fightback in the second half was put to bed in the 54th minute after Nutwadee sent a delightful through ball to Kanyanat, who got past her marker before slotting past Anjila.
APF fell further behind in the 63rd minute when Tamonwan Raksaphakdi’s pin-point cross found a lurking Kanyanat, who converted the rebound after Anjila kept out her initial effort as the Thai emphatically stayed on course for a Group Stage spot.
