That was Myanmar’s first international friendly of the year, and the team claimed a solid victory over Sri Lanka. It was also the debut match for new head coach U Myo Hlaing Win, who led the team to this promising start.
The Myanmar starting lineup included star players such as team captain Maung Maung Lwin, goalkeeper Pyae Phyo Thu, Nanda Kyaw, Soe Moe Kyaw, Thet Htein Soe, Hein Phyo Win, Zaw Win Thein, Kyaw Min Oo, Lwin Moe Aung, Hein Htet Aung, and Than Paing. Under the guidance of their new coach, Myanmar’s team is expected to focus more on collective team play rather than relying on individual efforts, which could improve their overall performance.
Despite missing a few key players, Sri Lanka’s team featured naturalized citizen players and key figures but struggled to find the net due to finishing issues. Lwin Moe Aung scored Myanmar’s goals in 16 minutes, and Maung Maung Lwin from a penalty in 53 minutes, which was set up by Than Paing’s relentless effort.

Brennan Johnson scored just three minutes into the match after Micky van de Ven's run and things got worse and worse for the home side.
Fernandes was sent off for a bad challenge on James Maddison, and Spurs showed their superiority with further goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke in the second half.
Aston Villa had the chance to go second on Sunday, but they were held to a 2-2away draw to Ipswich Town, who opened the scoring through Liam Delap's near post show after just eight minutes.
Aston Villa responded quickly with Morgan Rogers levelling after 15 minutes
as Ipswich failed to clear, and they took the lead just after the half hour when
Leon Bailey's cross was nodded in by Ollie Watkins.
Ipswich responded well after the break and got their reward in the 72nd minute when Delap netted a brilliant in dividual goal to save a point for his team.
