Phnom Penh Crown 3–0 Nagaworld FC: Dominant Crown Reclaim Top Spot in Cambodian Premier League

Phnom Penh Crown FC produced a commanding display at the Olympic Stadium on 10 May 2026, sweeping aside Nagaworld FC 3-0 to go top of the Cambodian Premier League. The victory extended Crown’s unbeaten run to six matches, while Nagaworld’s inconsistent form continued.

Match Overview

The home side dominated from the first whistle. Crown opened the scoring in the 15th minute through Brazilian forward Lucas Costa, who headed in a cross from right‑back Serey Vathana. The second goal came just before half‑time – a stunning long‑range strike from midfielder Chhorn Sophea that left the Nagaworld goalkeeper rooted.

In the second half, Crown controlled the tempo, patiently building attacks. They added a third in the 68th minute when substitute striker Sor Samrith turned in a low cross from Keo Sokpheng. Nagaworld rarely threatened, managing only one shot on target all night.

Key Moments & Tactical Story

• Early Breakthrough: Crown’s aggressive pressing forced Nagaworld into a defensive error, leading to the corner from which Costa scored.
• Midfield Control: Chhorn Sophea and partner Pov Bunly dominated the centre of the park, cutting off Nagaworld’s supply lines.
• Clean Sheet: Crown’s back four, marshalled by centre‑back Thierry Bin, were never seriously tested.

Standout Players

Chhorn Sophea was the standout performer with a goal and an assist, orchestrating play from deep. Lucas Costa’s aerial threat caused constant problems. For Nagaworld, goalkeeper Um Vichet made several saves to keep the scoreline respectable, but his defence offered little protection.

Table Impact

Phnom Penh Crown now sit first with 22 points from 9 games, one point ahead of second‑placed Boeung Ket. Nagaworld drop to 6th, six points off the title pace. The win reinforces Crown’s status as favourites for the championship, especially with their best attacking record in the league (22 goals scored).

Crown face a tough away trip to a top‑four rival next weekend, while Nagaworld host a relegation‑threatened side desperate for points.
