I think if you take James' error and thus Tun's goal away, a 1-1 draw probably seems fair, but that's not how football works. Myanmar defended their area like mad, disrupted the passing lanes, and took their chances when they appeared. Can't fault that! #MYAvAUS
Myanmar with a clinical 2-1 win over Australia U23 on Matchday 1 in Việt Trì. A swivelling, dipping effort from Myint on the half-hour preceded Tun's fortuitous finish just after half-time, and while the Matildas had plenty of the ball, Furphy's late tap-in was all they had to show. #MYAvAUS
Gonna leave this here cause I know there might be a few #Matildas fans who will wake up and think 'how the heck did the Young Tillies lose out to Myanmar?' Well, let me attempt to answer that question with my #MYAvAUS post-match analysis thread cause I'm too lazy to write a proper article.

Myanmar's keeper Myo with some amazing timewasting, taking the ball into the corner of her penalty area and forcing the Tillies striker to chase her all of 30m, which is the kind of Dark Arts we can all enjoy 😂😂

Myanmar defending stoutly and playing well on the counter, and the screamer from Myint has them in front, but the U23 Matildas have been by no means at their best thus far. Plenty of time to fix those issues in the second half in Việt Trì! #MYAvAUS
