Joeys off to winning start at AFF U-15 Championship

Australia’s 2019 AFF U-15 Championship campaign in Chonburi, Thailand got off to a winning start on Sunday, with Trevor Morgan’s youngsters claiming a 3-1 win over Cambodia.

Representing their nation for the first time, the Joeys raced to a 3-0 lead at the break with Massimo D’Argenio netting the opener for Australia after 12 minutes, and Daniel Helweh showing good composure to finish chances in the 25th and 36th minutes respectively.

Midway through the second stanza Australia conceded a penalty. The resulting strike was originally saved by custodian Jack Warshawsky, however an unfortunate deflection off an Australian defender led to Cambodia pulling a goal back.

The Joeys will play their second match at the tournament on Tuesday afternoon (local time) against Laos. Laos suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to hosts Thailand on Sunday in their first match, which was played shortly after Australia’s opener.
