Young Lao Star shatters Marselino’s AFF Record
Jakarta, Indonesia – A new record has been set in the AFF Championship, with Laos’ Phousomboun Panyavong eclipsing Indonesian star Marselino Ferdinan’s previous mark for youngest goalscorer.
Panyavong, at just 17 years, 5 months, and 22 days old, found the back of the net against Indonesia in their Group A clash at Manahan Stadium on Thursday. This feat surpassed Marselino’s record, set in the 2022 edition when he scored against the Philippines at 18 years, 3 months, and 24 days old.
Panyavong’s historic goal came in the ninth minute, highlighting his prodigious talent and marking a significant moment for Laotian football.
Adding to the drama, Marselino’s own AFF campaign took a turn for the worse. The oxford United midfielder received a red card against Laos, ruling him out of Indonesia’s crucial upcoming match against Vietnam.This absence is a major blow for Indonesia, who are fielding a predominantly U-22 squad in this year’s tournament. Vietnam, conversely, boasts a more experienced lineup, making them favorites for Sunday’s encounter in Phu Tho.
Despite the setback,Indonesian coach Shin Tae-yong remains undeterred.”We will not dwell on Marselino’s absence,” he stated. “We have a talented group of players who are ready to step up and give their all against Vietnam.”
The match against Vietnam promises to be a thrilling contest, with Indonesia looking to overcome the odds and secure a vital victory.
