Brunei in last eight
By Lyna Mohamad

Brunei qualified for the quarterfinals of the 32nd Asian U-18 Football Tournament in Hong Kong when they drew 4-4 with Vietnam.

Down with only nine men after Azman Rajab and Hj Khairol Anuar Hj Yakub were red-carded and without skipper Safari Wahid who was suspended, Brunei put on a great show against the more fancied Vietnamese.

Brunei's Ak Kamarul Ariffin Pg Ramli scored a hat-trick in the 10th, 23rd and 32nd minutes while Syazwi Mohd scored the equalising goal.

Brunei will meet Thailand in the quarterfinals today at the Tsing Yi Sports Ground without their hat-trick hero Ak Kamarul who has collected two yellow cards but will be boosted with the return of captain Safari.
