Vientiane (VNA) – SHB Da Nang was defeated by Lao Lanexang United 1-2 at the opening match of the 2016 Toyota Mekong Cup in Vientiane, Laos on November 5.

The Vietnamese team had only 10 days to prepare for the match after attending the Toyota V League 1 tournament for 14 leading professional clubs in Vietnam.

In the second match of the group stage, SHB Da Nang will meet Yadanarbon FC of Myanmar on December 23 at Hanoi’s My Dinh Stadium.

Meanwhile, Lanexang, champions of the Lao Premier League, will need only one point in their match against Yadanarbon FC to enter the semifinals.

Cambodia’s BoeungKet Angkor FC, last year’s runners-up, have earned the right to the semifinals, while defending champions BuriramUtd from Thailand will play the final match in January.

The Toyota Mekong Cup 2016, the third of its kind, is taking place from November 5, 2016 to January 8, 2017 in five countries in the Mekong River region - Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.-VNA
