Myanmar – HBT 2014 Champions

They deserved it. In the group stage, they squashed almost every opponents in their sights but it was a tough road in the finals against Vietnam. The match ended in a 7 goal thriller that I didn’t disappoint the audience who came for the match. It was great to know that His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam was present during the finals of the Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy 2014 at the Hassanal Bolkiah Stadium.

I wasn’t able to attend the finals of HBT due to my overseas assignment. It was a free entry for the spectators as it has always been for the past few tournaments. However, it was a tough task to get a full house stadium since Brunei was the biggest draw and they failed to reach the semi-finals by merely one goal difference. It was still a huge turnout nonetheless and this shows that football is a universal sport for all regardless of age and gender.

Myanmar were crowned champions of the 5th edition of the Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy competition following their 4-3 win over Vietnam. Myanmar’s striker Aung struck from 30 metres out to beat Vietnam goalkeeper Lee following a counter attack for the winning championship goal late in the game.

Overall, it was a great tournament and better managed as compared to the previous tournament. There wasn’t much hassle with the ticket issuance as they weren’t any tickets to be issued in the first place apart from the Brunei vs Indonesia match (due to previous experience). Now we will have to wait till 2016 for the next tournament.
