Indonesia go into break 2-0 ahead of Cambodia in U-17 qualifier
Dolvi Theofilus Solossa opened the scoring before Melki Alvando added a header in the Group A fixture in Myanmar.
Goals from Dolvi Theofilus Solossa and Melki Alvando gave Indonesia a 2-0 advantage over Cambodia by half-time on 14 November in qualifying for the 2027 U-17 Asian Cup. The second Group A matchday was being played at Starcity Sports Club Stadium in Thanlyin, Myanmar.
David Nascimento's team dictated play from the start, while Cambodia sat deep to contain Indonesia's attacks. The breakthrough arrived in the 10th minute: Faiz Hikmal Kurniawan supplied a pass from midfield and Dolvi finished from beyond the penalty area.
Ichiro Akbar came on for Dolvi in the 30th minute, with the reason for the early change unclear. Indonesia maintained their attacking pressure, and Melki made it 2-0 in the 35th minute by entering the box to meet Chico Jericho Yarangga's cross from the right with a header.
A Cambodian counterattack tested Indonesia's high press in the 42nd minute, but goalkeeper Syahdan Caesar gathered Be Cheaming's cutback in the penalty area. Indonesia subsequently took control again, though the score remained unchanged at the interval.
