Brief: U23 draw with San Siro

The Cambodian U23 national team were held to a 1-1 draw by the foreign players' team San Siro on Tuesday morning. National team coach Scott O'Donell had arranged the game to help prepare the squad for the SEA Games in Laos in December, but had a choice of just 13 players from a potential squad of 25 due to injury and Phnom Penh Crown's Singapore Cup excursion. Cambodia got off to a flying start, with Prak Monyoudom taking just two minutes to open the scoring. The Khemara striker timed his run to perfection to beat the offside trap before picking his spot. San Siro fought back but couldn't find a way through, entering the break behind by a goal. Both sides came out strongly in the second half, although several chances were squandered. The game seemed destined to end 1-0, but a San Siro player was brought down inside the box in the dying minutes to allow former Khemara defender Paris Zidougha to convert the penalty, and end the tie in a draw.

THE Asian Development Bank and South Korea have confirmed a combined US$41.9 million in low-interest loans to Cambodia for road and border improvements. In a press release Tuesday, ADB said the money would be used to improve a 113-kilometre stretch of road in Banteay Meanchey and Oddar Meanchey provinces and a Thai border crossing. "The project will [improve] connectivity between Thailand and Cambodia, thereby enhancing subregional transport and trade," said ADB transport specialist Shihiru Date.

PHNOM Penh will host Vietnam's biannual High Quality Products exhibition September 2-6, Vietnamese Embassy Commercial Councillor Le Bien Cuong said Tuesday. The coming exhibition, which was first held in 2002, will feature 200 booths from 150 Vietnamese companies, he added. "The number of Vietnamese companies [at the event] has increased around 10 percent year on year," he said, adding that there are plans to expand the event to the provinces. Trade between the two neighbours fell 30 percent in the first six months of this year to US$637 million.
