AFC CUP 2009 : Group G - Hanoi ACB 0 (VIE) 0 - 2 Chonburi FC (THA)

HANOI: Thailands Chonburi FC maintained their perfect start to life in Group G of the AFC Cup with a comfortable 2-0 win over Hanoi ACB on Tuesday evening.

Kiatisuk Senamuangs team were on top throughout the 90 minutes as they picked up a third straight win to sit on top of the standings at the halfway stage of the group phase of the competition.

Arthit Sunthornphit and Ekaphan Inthasen scored in the second half to earn Chonburi the win against a Hanoi side that has struggled so far to find their feet in this competition, winning just once so far.

Despite their mixed form, the home side had high hopes of challenging the Thais but it was Kiatisuks team that dictated the rhythm of the game and it was a surprise that it took them until the second half before they opened the scoring.

Seven minutes after the restart, Chonburi were awarded a free kick 20 yards from the Hanoi goal and Arthit struck with aplomb to give his side the lead with a fine effort.

Eight minutes later, the Thais had doubled their advantage. This time Ekaphan evaded the Hanoi defence when he popped up on the right wing before firing off an unstoppable shot.

Hanoi head coach Nguyen Cong Vinh attempted to rally his troops and, although the home side threatened to pull a goal back, there was little they could do to deny Chonburi a well deserved win.
