Final score: Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng FC 4-0 Tiffy Army FC
The match pitted the league's pacesetters against a Tiffy Army side looking to spring an upset, but the gulf in class was evident early. Svay Rieng's high line and relentless pressing suffocated the visitors, who struggled to maintain possession and rarely threatened the opposition goal.
Key Moments

Tactical Story
Svay Rieng set up in a fluid 4-3-3 and pressed high, forcing Tiffy Army into repeated turnovers in their own half. The midfield trio dominated second balls, and the full-backs pushed aggressively to stretch the visitors' back line. Tiffy Army attempted to sit deep and counter, but they struggled to string passes together and were often reduced to speculative clearances. The home side's movement off the ball was exceptional, with forwards constantly dragging defenders out of position to create space for runners from midfield.
Standout Players
Svay Rieng's attacking unit was relentless. Striker Sok Vireak was a constant menace, scoring twice and linking play effectively with his back to goal. Midfielder Chan Dara controlled the tempo from the middle of the park and provided a key assist, while the centre-back pairing kept a clean sheet with a series of timely interceptions. For Tiffy Army, the goalkeeper made several saves to keep the score from being even more lopsided, but the defence was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of attacks.
Season Impact
The win strengthens Svay Rieng's position at the top of the Cambodian Premier League standings, extending their unbeaten run and boosting their goal difference. For Tiffy Army, it is a setback that leaves them searching for consistency in a competitive mid-table battle. Up next, Svay Rieng face a tricky away trip, while Tiffy Army must regroup quickly to avoid slipping further down the table.
