Joeys make it two from two with 3-0 win over Laos

Goals to Alexander Menelaou, Bernardo Oliviera, and Adrian Segecic have helped lift Australia’s Joeys to their second win from as many starts at the 2019 AFF U-15 Championship in Chonburi, Thailand.

Trevor Morgan’s youngsters, who defeated Cambodia 3-1 in their opener on Sunday, led 1-0 over Laos at half-time before two second stanza strikes ensured that the team claimed a 3-0 victory and moved to six points from their first two Group B encounters. 

The Joeys will have a day’s rest from match play on Wednesday before featuring in their third fixture of the tournament against Malaysia, who have also won two from two, on Thursday afternoon (local time).

Malaysia performed strongly in their first game of the group phase to defeat Brunei Darussalam 8-0, before backing up that effort with a 2-0 win over Cambodia earlier today. 

The Joeys need to finish first or second in Group B to advance to the semi-finals of the 2019 AFF U-15 Championship in Thailand. 

This Joeys group will venture to Vietnam in September 2019 to take part in 2020 AFC U-16 Championship qualification.
